COVID-19 Vaccine
As of April 15, All Washington state residents age 16* and older are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine
If you meet this age criteria, we invite you to use MultiCare’s online vaccine scheduler to self-schedule your first-dose vaccine appointments. Appointments are currently available at MultiCare’s Tacoma, Puyallup and Auburn vaccine clinic locations.
We have closed the Capital Medical Center vaccine waiting list. Anyone who had previously signed up for the waiting list will be contacted and invited to self-schedule their appointment at one of MultiCare’s current vaccine clinic locations.
If you received your first dose at our Olympia clinic but still need to schedule a second dose, you can do so by calling by calling MultiCare’s toll-free vaccine line at 833-770-0530 and selecting option 2. Second dose appointments are currently available at MultiCare’s Tacoma, Puyallup and Auburn vaccine clinic locations.
We hope to make vaccine appointments available again in the Olympia area in the near future.

* 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.
