Find an Adult Vaccine Program provider near you

In Washington state, uninsured adults ages 19+ can receive some routinely recommended vaccines at no cost from a healthcare provider that participates in the Adult Vaccine Program (AVP). You may be charged an administration fee of up to $23.44 per vaccine. There are many AVP providers in King County and most require that a person becomes a patient to get services. You should always call your provider or pharmacy of choice first to confirm they participate in the AVP and have the vaccine you are seeking.
