Adolescents, teens and adults can get vaccinated for COVID-19 at most places you’d go for a flu vaccine, like grocery stores, pharmacies and health care clinics. In addition to these, pop-up clinics often happen at various locations around the county.
Pfizer, Moderna, Pfizer-Pediatrics, and boosters are available at the listed pop-up clinics. No insurance is required at Whatcom County Health Department clinics, but may be required at community hosted clinics. A limited supply of free at-home COVID-19 tests are available at Whatcom County Health Department clinics.

On August 12, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) amended its emergency use authorizations (EUAs) for Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines to allow an additional (third) dose for certain immunocompromised people including those who have:
The primary series for Johnson & Johnson/Janssen (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine remains one dose; however, people who received a J&J dose should get a booster dose two months after.
Immunocompromised people who received an additional primary shot (third dose) may also receive a booster dose five months after that shot.
Booster doses are extra doses of COVID-19 vaccine intended to boost your immunity to the virus. Booster doses are available for every vaccine brand, but your booster dose doesn't have to be the same brand as your initial vaccination series.
If you are 12 or older and if it's been at least five months since you finished your initial vaccination series with either Pfizer or Moderna, you may get a booster shot.
Teens ages 12-17 should only get a Pfizer vaccine series for their primary vaccine series and for their booster. The Moderna vaccine is not available to people under 18.
If you received the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine, you should get a booster if it's been 2 months or longer since you completed your Johnson & Johnson series.
