Although classes for WSU pharmacy students are mostly online, some students started volunteering to administer COVID-19 vaccinations in Spokane.

About 50 other students have volunteered so far in locations around the state, including Seattle and Yakima, Lewis said. Volunteers must be immunization certified.
Lewis, born and raised in Tacoma, Washington, graduated from Western Washington University in 2018 with a bachelor’s in biology with molecular and cell emphasis, she said.
