Covid Vaccinations, Passports & Healthcare in Washington state

At the Wenatchee Enrollment Center, we have been running steadily since the first business closures in March of 2020. Since we enroll people in healthcare, we have been using masks, disinfectants and social distancing for over a year. Since our focus is on living insurance, we want our clients to be around as long and healthy as possible. The vaccines are a light at the end of a very dark period. 

If you want healthcare then you have until May 15th. We are one of the eleven enrollment centers throughout the state that can answer these complex questions without charging a fee. 


 

We have made it to Phase 1B Tiers 3 & 4 in Washington's state Covid-19 program. In Washington State 3.2 million doses have been given and about 15% are fully vaccinated! Private pharmacies are now offering the vaccine so the process is speeding up.  

As 3/31/2021

Pfizer Emergency Use Authorization

Moderna Emergency Use Authorization Fact Sheet

What about after care?



Once you get your Vaccine and if you have a smart phone then use the CDC's V-safe program. If you are using a two step vaccine then it will send you a text reminder. Who doesn't need a reminder during these busy times?

While there is no talk of a Covid Passport in the United States. It is very popular in Europe to get back to normal. There are travel industries creating applications for your phone to assist in travel. The United States is looking at creating one however there is nothing solid at this time. There are serious travel restrictions on travel from the United States so if you have a country then you may wish to look at restrictions before booking as they may require a digital passport in the near future. 

We have been offering travel insurance for the last several years. Yes, we recommend purchasing a plan when you book your trip. They can be very useful in the age of tight networks and the cancelation coverage can help if conditions change. If you have questions then let us know and we can assist you.

Well how did we get here? We were in trouble before Covid got a strong hold in the United States. 1.
