More than 25,000 get COVID-19 vaccine at state’s mass vaccination sites
OLYMPIA – Vaccination numbers continue to steadily increase at the state’s mass vaccination sites. The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) is pleased to announce registration is opening for week three.
Thanks to the hard work of DOH, the Washington National Guard, and local and private sector partners, as of February 5, 25,416 people received their COVID-19 vaccine at mass vaccination sites, including:
- 6,021 in Spokane
- 6,702 in Ridgefield
- 5,614 in Wenatchee
- 7,079 in Kennewick
The four sites opened on January 26. The goal of mass vaccination sites is to increase access to vaccine across the state, ensure our plans are equitable, and protect those most at risk.
