Another big chunk of Washington state’s population will become eligible Thursday for the COVID-19 vaccines.
Starting Thursday, anyone 16 years of age and older will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccines.
With approximately 1.5 million more people becoming eligible in Washington, state health officials said it might be a bit more difficult to book a vaccine appointment. I do have a favor to ask – please be patient, Acting Assistant Health Secretary Michele Roberts said Wednesday morning during the Washington State Department of Health s weekly media briefing.
