Getting your flu and COVID-19 shots are an important part of protecting your health, your family’s health, and your community’s health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone six months and older get a flu shot every year and the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine.
Flu and COVID-19 shots have many important benefits; getting a flu and COVID-19 shot can reduce your risk of getting severe disease, help protect vulnerable populations, and conserve health care resources. Each year, King County’s Balanced You arranges onsite flu and COVID-19 shot clinics for employees who work onsite. Information can be found below.
Where to get your shots
We encourage employees to get their flu and COVID-19 shots wherever is most convenient for them.
The onsite clinics (see schedule below) may be helpful for those reporting to County worksites in person. Flu and COVID-19 shots provided at the worksite clinics are free for all employees. Make an appointment here.
Telecommuting employees and their family members may find it more convenient to go to their healthcare provider’s office or a local pharmacy. Learn more about how to get a flu shot through your provider or local pharmacy.
Schedule your appointment
Employees are encouraged to schedule an appointment at a convenient location. Online registration for appointments is required, even if you walk in on the day of the clinic. Making your appointment prior to arrival is strongly advised. To make an appointment, visit King County’s scheduling site. Follow the prompts and choose the clinic most convenient for you.
If you have medical insurance, you’ll enter your insurance information into the scheduling site. If you are currently uninsured, you will choose ‘out of pocket’ on the scheduling site and King County will cover the cost. Note: SVNA does not accept Tricare and Cigna insurance.
IMPORTANT: When registering for a flu and/or COVID-19 shot appointment, enter your name as it appears on your insurance card. Regence members should be sure to include the KIN prefix (uppercase k, uppercase i, uppercase n) when entering their member ID number in the insurance section. If you need help with the scheduling system, please contact the flu shot vendor at info@seattlevna.com.
Arrive prepared
- Have your insurance card handy to make an appointment.
- Make an appointment to receive your flu and COVID-19 shots using the scheduling link.
- On the day of the clinic, wear short sleeves, a sleeveless shirt, or clothing that shows your shoulder easily.
- Bring your confirmation code you receive when making the appointment (take a screenshot of it for easy reference).
- If you are experiencing a fever or showing signs of COVID-19 on the day of your appointment, please stay home.
Types of flu shots offered at onsite clinic
Getting a flu shot and COVID-19 shot at the same visit is recommended if you are eligible. The flu shot clinics will offer the preservative-free (t-free) Flucelvax trivalent (safe for pregnant and breastfeeding people) flu vaccine. The high-dose and adjuvanted flu vaccines (approved for people aged 65 and over) will not be available at the onsite clinics. Nasal spray will also not be available. If you are seeking a type of flu vaccine not offered at our onsite clinics, please consult your healthcare provider or local pharmacy. If you have questions about which vaccine is best for you, talk to your doctor or other health care professionals.
