Helpful information from the County about vaccination.Information about when to get a vaccine, where to get a vaccine, and how to get a vaccine has been confusing at best, even from us, who like to think we work hard to explain confusing things simply.
We know there's frustration. This graphic below is from the San Juan County Vaccine Page (www.sanjuanco.com/1737/COVID-Vaccine-Info) and tries to explain things more clearly. Go to the vaccine page for links and more info.
Some great news is that the islands' first local provider other than San Juan County Health & Community Services is delivering Phase 1b Tier 1 vaccine: Lopez Island Pharmacy. They have info on their website (lopezislandpharmacy.com/) but please know that they are booked up at the moment, and please don't call or email them (or any other vaccine provider) for info. No one is able to keep up with the volume of inquiries.
Hopefully more local providers will be coming online soon.
Thanks to all of the volunteers and staff who are working so hard to support this effort. Hang in there everyone, be patient. ... See MoreSee Less

5,660 Trips in 2020 Despite the Pandemic!
A HUGE thank you to Bob Reilly and his drivers for making sure islanders get where they need to go, whether or not they can pay. They do such a great service to the community! Bob has stood by the program through many challenges, including keeping things running for the past ten months in spite of the pandemic!
Careful passenger screening, short travel time, fresh air and masks for drivers and rider make for safe trips with minimal risk when you have no car and need to get to an on-island destination. This county has been careful to minimize social contact outside our small family groups and IslandRides can help deliver the supplies you need or get you safely to your appointment and back home.
Safe, no-contact delivery needs have replaced many of our previous personal trips to the store. Just phone 360-298-6108 or email IslandRides@gmail.com for service every day, all-day from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm.
Thank you, Bob Reilly and drivers Kim and Linda for completing eight years of service to rural islanders who do not drive.
See the new website www.IslandRides.org for information about how to support this vital service. ... See MoreSee Less
