Aberdeen, WA – The Port of Grays Harbor is proud to partner with the Grays Harbor County Public Health COVID-19 Incident Management Team (IMT), Grays Harbor Community Hospital and a host of other local organizations and volunteers to provide a mass vaccination site for the administration of COVID vaccinations for the Grays Harbor community.

Over the past several weeks, Port staff worked with the IMT, Hospital, and US Coast Guard to provide a safe and secure site within its marine terminal complex. Vaccinations are by appointment only and will begin on Wednesday, January 27th. Prioritization for this site will be residents of Grays Harbor County who are in Phase 1A and Phase 1B Tier 1 of the Washington State Department of Health’s Vaccination Distribution Plan. Included in these phases are High-Risk Workers in health care settings, high-risk first responders, residents of long-term care facilities, people 65 years of age and older, and people 50 years and older who are members of multigenerational households.

“The Port is honored to partner with our local emergency management and health officials to provide a site for mass vaccinations for our community,” shared Port of Grays Harbor Commission President Stan Pinnick. “We applaud and thank all our staff and the many partners that have helped make this possible for the community.”
