The number of Washington residents getting vaccinated against COVID-19 isn’t growing fast enough to contain the highly transmissible strain of the coronavirus known as the Delta variant, state health officials say.
That proclamation came in a news release issued by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH), which estimates that as many as 92% of new COVID infections could be attributed to the variant. In the release, state officials said the people most at risk of getting sick are those who haven’t been vaccinated.

Members of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee played the blame game for false steps during the pandemic.
At a hearing on Tuesday, HELP committee chair Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said the nation was ill-equipped to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic because of a weak and underfunded public health infrastructure. She called for an end to the pattern of crisis and complacency in public health funding.
But ranking member Richard Burr (R-N.C.) called out the CDC for the country s pandemic response missteps.
Beyond the finger-pointing, the HELP committee heard about caregiver support, next-generation face masks, and interoperability.
