The Bellingham Herald 4/29/2021 David Rasbach, The Bellingham Herald (Bellingham, Wash.)
Apr. 29 Whatcom County residents who identify as Hispanic are being vaccinated for COVID-19 at a rate about half the rest of the county, according to data released by the Washington State Department of Health. Hispanics are underrepresented in the vaccinated population in nearly all counties, compared to their percent of the county s population, according to the COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage by Race and Ethnicity in Washington State Counties report released last week.
The report, which included data through Aug. 21, went on to state that the gap varies by county, and showed in Whatcom County that the rate was nearly half that of most other races, which is close to what the rest of the state is seeing.

(Bloomberg) Having made its way through those who lined up eagerly to get vaccinated for Covid-19, the campaign to inoculate every American is now slowing down with surplus supply and open appointments appearing in pockets nationwide.
While 3 million shots a day are being administered, that’s down from a peak of 3.4 million. And only 75% of about 28 million doses being shipped out weekly will be used at the current pace. All of this suggests the vaccine effort is evolving, from the megasites that inoculated thousands a day toward a slower grind designed to reach the half of Americans who haven’t yet received a dose.
