SPOKANE, Wash. More options are now available for kids looking to get a COVID-19 vaccine. The Martin Luther King Jr. Center in Spokane is offering shots to children 12 and older on Tuesday.
The community center has been hosting clinics since February. They have given out more than 1,400 doses to people and are pushing to grow this number.
According to the US Census Bureau, there are more than 335,000 Black people in Washington, as of July 2019. However, only about 80,000 have been fully vaccinated.
“We are trusted in the community, so if people are looking for a place like the MLK Center to get vaccinated then they can come here,” said Freda Gandy, the executive director of the center.
