COVID-19 Information & Resources

Hello and thank you for your question. The City plans to re-open the online reservation system on April 1, 2021 for shelters and the Pavilion with limited capacities for rentals starting on May 1, 2021. There is not yet an opening date for the Lodge. For more information, you can check back here, or reach out to the Rental and Systems Coordinator at adiers@sammamish.us. Thanks!

Thank you for the question. The EF&R Mobile Vaccination Unit can only administer vaccines to the populations identified by King County Public Health, e.g. low-income senior citizens. Hence, they do not have any hours that are open to the public for vaccinations. We will be updating the public soon about the planned mass vaccination site at Lake Sammamish State Park. Please check back for updates.

Thank you for your question. Please be aware that every mass vaccination site follows the WA State Phase Finder guidance, or is even more restrictive. You would need to be phase eligible to schedule an appointment. And, please watch for news of the mass vaccination site that is planned for the Eastside at Lake Sammamish State Park. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. There is no citizenship question at any of the vaccine sites. The only requirement is that you meet the Washington Phase eligibility tiers provided. Currently, we are in Phase 1B, Tier 2. We hope this helps answer your question.

Hello and thank you for your question! At this time, the clinical positions will be filled by Eastside Fire and Rescue personnel. Non-clinical positions will likely be staffed by volunteers. We don’t have a start date for non-clinical volunteers finalized, but we will share that information when available.

Thank you for your question. Vaccine supply is allocated by King County, and the supply is very limited. We have been able to provide vaccines to seniors in adult family homes using Eastside Fire & Rescue's mobile vaccination units, but we are not able to use what little supply we get outside of this vulnerable population. We are working with the city of Issaquah and others in a public / private partnership to open a mass vaccination drive-thru site, but cannot move forward until we get adequate vaccine supply. Please keep on checking back here for any updates, we are also anxious to get Sammamish residents vaccinated!

Thank you for your question. Eastside Fire & Rescue was allocated vaccines from King County Public Health to use strictly within adult family homes. We are now awaiting more vaccine supply, and permission to deliver vaccines outside of adult family homes. The Emergency Manager provided a report on this to City Council last night discussing the vaccine supply shortage, which you can read here. Please continue to look for vaccines using the Vaccine Locator tool from the WA State Department of Health. We understand how frustrating this is for everyone. Please continue to check back here for updates.

Currently, EF&R is focused on delivering vaccines to senior living homes where residents cannot get to a pharmacy or dispensary. EF&R is coordinating these efforts with the City's Human Services to best identify the most vulnerable in our communities. They are also working with very limited vaccine supply.

As we get more vaccine supply, we will be expanding our area of coverage. Please keep on checking back here on Connect Sammamish COVID-19 Information & Resources page for updates.

The City has joined the Issaquah Vaccine Community Partnership, please see our announcement here. While it is our hope through this partnership to facilitate vaccinations for residents in our two cities, vaccine supply remains an ongoing issue. We will continue to update this page as we get new information.
