Public Health – Seattle & King County has made limited amounts of H1N1 flu vaccine available at selected pharmacies in King County.

The only pharmacy in Queen Anne is at the Uptown Safeways, located at 516 First Ave W., 206-494-1700. Both the shot and nasal spray are available there, but according to King County they’re appointments are all full, so Queen Anne residents may have to venture into neighboring communities to get their inoculations. Check out the complete list of pharmacies with vaccine here.

People eligible to receive vaccine through pharmacies include:

• Pregnant women
• People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age
• People between the ages of 6 months and 24 years old
• People between 25 through 64 years of age with chronic health conditions or weakened immune systems
• Healthcare and emergency workers with direct patient contact

Pharmacies may charge a fee for administering the vaccine, typically between $12 and $22 (not to exceed $22). This fee is covered by most health insurance. People should bring their health insurance information to the pharmacy, and they may need to submit a receipt to their insurance company for reimbursement.
