DOH Releases Information on Preparing for COVID-19 Vaccinations

The Washington State Department of Health is encouraging physicians and other providers to ready themselves for when a COVID-19 vaccine is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. DOH expects that health care workers will be able to enroll in its COVID-19 Vaccination Program in November.

Until then, DOH has posted information on its website and is encouraging physicians and other health care workers to become familiar with how the program and enrollment in the program will work:

• Preparing to enroll in the COVID-19 Vaccination Program (PDF)
• Health care workers authorized to administer and order vaccines (PDF)
• Slide deck on preparing to enroll
• COVID-19 Program preparation checklist

If you have questions about the enrollment process, please contact the COVID-19 Vaccine Response Team at COVID.vaccine@doh.wa.gov.
