Vaccinated Americans ditched the face mask and summer travel has already surged.
Now, Washington state is trying to make the comeback permanent, as soon as 70% of adults get that first shot of the vaccine.
Right now, that number sits at 63% across Washington, according to the State Department of Health, and Spokane is trying to reach that goal, too, as 50% of adults in the county already have one dose.
“I do believe Spokane county will get there, too,” said interim Health Officer Dr. Frank Velazquez. “Maybe a little later, maybe right in line with the 30th [of June], but it doesn’t really matter; as long as we get there.”

SPOKANE, Wash. People who help take care of and teach kids are now allowed to get the vaccine.
President Joe Biden said teachers, school staff and child care workers are able to move to the front of the line and get their shots now.
Washington is trying to make that change go smoothly. It’s been a long wait for many educators and child care workers who have been there for the children during the pandemic.
The vaccine is a sign of hope to return back to normal. It’s also a sign that more kids will be able to fill empty seats in classrooms, as many are on a hybrid schedule.
