Pierce Health Warns Of Mix-Ups In Vaccination Event Registration
LAKEWOOD, WA — If you are one of the 3,000 Pierce County residents who signed up in time to get vaccinated at the health department's vaccination clinics next week, you may want to double-check your registration.
Friday afternoon, the Tacoma - Pierce County Health Department announced that they would be hosting two vaccination events next week, one in Puyallup on Thursday, and one in Lakewood Tuesday. Despite the fact that each event could fit in around 1,500 vaccinations, slots filled up fast and the health department announced they had closed off registrations by 7 p.m. Friday.
Unfortunately, that is not the end of the story as the health department announced Saturday they've become aware of two issues with their registration process. The big one: their online registration forms allowed applicants to sign up for clinics at the wrong location.
In the example provided by the health department: the Puyallup clinic is set for Thursday, the 28th. However, during online registration residents were able to sign up to get their shots in Puyallup on the 26th. There is no clinic in Puyallup on the 26th— the 26th is the date of their other vaccination event, at Clover Point Technical College in Lakewood.
