Tacoma Dome Vaccination Site

Pierce County's Department of Emergency Management is opening a mass vaccination site at the Tacoma Dome for six weeks starting April 27. Pierce County plans to offer the Pfizer vaccine so that this clinic can serve everyone 16 and older, depending on the availability of the vaccine. A parent or guardian must be present with 16- and 17-year-olds wanting to get the vaccine. The site will operate from noon to 8 p.m. each day, seven days a week, except holidays. This is a drive-thru and walk-up site. Language assistance will be available on site. Pierce County will continue to operate vaccination sites, including second-dose events, in other parts of the county while at the Tacoma Dome. To register for these events, people can go to FindYourCovidShot.com and pick the day they want to get vaccinated. If people need assistance signing up, they can call 253-798-8900 for help. Pierce Transit is offering free bus rides to people traveling to or from their vaccine appointments. Pierce Transit's Route 42 runs in front of the Tacoma Dome. In addition, Tacoma Dome Station is just a five-minute walk from the Tacoma Dome. That location is served by Pierce Transit and Sound Transit buses, Sounder trains, and Link Light Rail.
