University Place Medical Clinic has been offering COVID vaccines since December 2020. As one of the first COVID vaccine clinics designated by the DOH, we have vaccinated thousands of patients of all ages in the Pierce and King counties since the vaccination campaign began.  We are proud to announce that as a result of our efforts, the demand for vaccine has significantly dropped.

If you would like to schedule a COVID vaccination appointment, please email your name, date of birth and contacts to contact@universityplaceclinic.com.

At this time, everyone 5 years and older is eligible to receive the COVID vaccine.
