Case updates December 16, 2021 - omicron cases are surging - eligible people urged to get boosters

Saturday, December 18, 2021

Delta variant
The omicron case in King county is a woman in her 20s, vaccinated but not boosted before she was exposed. She has mild symptoms. She did not travel outside of the country. 

Health officials are urging every eligible person to get a booster shot, but scheduling is proving challenging.

Anecdotally, the best places seem to be pharmacies - Safeway, Rite Aid, Bartells, Ostrom's, probably Costco. 

Otherwise line up very early at ICHS or get on the call back list for UW Med. The Shoreline Community College clinic and other UW Med sites are no longer taking adult walk-ins but will take age 5-12 walk ins.
