COVID-19 Vaccine
Everyone in Washington state age 12* and over can now schedule their vaccine appointment.
With expanded opportunities available throughout the state for individuals to get the COVID-19 vaccine, MultiCare is making some changes to our vaccine clinic operations.
Starting June 30, MultiCare patients will be able to schedule a vaccine appointment at select primary care clinics in the Puget Sound region. Our remaining dedicated vaccine clinics in the Puget Sound region will close at the end of July.
Previously scheduled appointments for non-MultiCare patients will still be honored. Vaccines are not available on a walk-in basis.
For more information about the COVID-19 vaccine, please visit the MultiCare COVID-19 vaccine page.
* Note that a parent or guardian must accompany patients under the age of 18 to their appointment in order to provide consent for the vaccination.
How We Are Keeping You Safe
- Screening and temperature checks for every person entering our facilities, including staff.
- Universal masking of employees, physicians and patients at all times.
- Physical distancing in our waiting areas and clinical areas.
- Increased thorough cleaning and disinfection for all common areas and clinical spaces.
- Limited visitors to our facilities. Find details about our visitation policy here.
Universal Masking
Capital is taking every precaution to keep our patients and staff safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our facilities. For this reason, we are following the CDC recommendation and state and county mandates that anyone who enters our facility must wear a face mask at all times. Why wear a mask? Recent studies show that universal masking, in addition to practicing social distancing and proper hand hygiene, can help prevent the spread of infectious diseases like COVID-19, especially in individuals who may not know they are ill. And until there is a vaccine, these measures are our best line of defense in protecting not only you, but also our healthcare workers and community members.
Visitor Restrictions
Out of an abundance of caution and to prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses, we are implementing visitor restrictions and will be limiting entry points to the hospital.
Visitor restrictions expanded at Capital Medical Center: Hospital visitors are not permitted until further notice.
To help ensure the safety of our patients, providers, employees and community, our facility has implemented a zero-visitor protocol effective immediately.
*Some exceptions may apply (e.g. pediatric patients, obstetric patients and those receiving end-of-life care). See front desk for more information.
