About 10,000 people got a COVID-19 shot at four mass vaccination sites that the Washington State Department of Health ran in the eastern and southern parts of the state over the past week, health officials reported.
The numbers reported were:
- 3,060 in Ridgefield
- 2,509 in Spokane
- 1,550 in Wenatchee
- 3,817 in Kennewick
The mass vaccination sites continue to take appointments for those who are eligible.
KING 5 is also keeping a list of vaccination sites in the Puget Sound area and western Washington.
Those who are eligible are people in Phases 1A and 1B:
- People who are 65 and older
- People 50 and older who also live in a multigenerational household
- Health care workers
- First responders
- People who live or work in long-term care facilities
- All other workers in health settings who are at risk of COVID-19
Since the vaccines were released in December, more than 600,000 doses have been given to Washingtonians.
About 6% of the state's population has had at least one dose of vaccine. Because both available vaccines require two shots taken several weeks apart, about 1% of the state's population has been fully vaccinated.
