The following is information from Rep. Strom Peterson (D-Edmonds):

If you or someone you know is having trouble booking an appointment to get a COVID-19 vaccine, there's a number you can call for help.

To reach the state COVID-19 assistance hotline, dial 1-800-525-0127 and enter #.

You can also call the state's alternate number at 888-856-5816 (a Spanish option is available) if you can't reach the hotline with the 1-800 number.

The COVID-19 hotline is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and weekends from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

According to the Snohomish Health District: The vaccine is available to anyone 65 and older, and all people 50 and older who also live in a multigenerational household.

This is in addition to populations eligible during phase 1A including health-care workers at high risk for COVID-19 infection, first responders, people who live or work in long-term care facilities, and all other workers in health settings who are at risk of COVID-19.
