SHA partners with City and others to host COVID-19 vaccine clinics in SHA communities

Through a partnership with the City and the Seattle Fire Department, SHA has hosted vaccination clinics at 14 buildings to date, vaccinating nearly 750 residents. SHA is prioritizing buildings with high populations of people of color, seniors and other vulnerable residents who have statistically been more susceptible to COVID-19 and have experienced greater barriers to health care, including access to vaccination. The response has been high, with resident participation averaging 70 percent so far.  In addition to its partnership with the City, SHA has launched a new partnership with International Community Health Services (ICHS) to host vaccination clinics throughout 2021 at the NewHolly Gathering Hall.
