Large portion of Spokane County needs vaccine before restrictions loosen
Experts at the Spokane Regional Health District said not enough people are vaccinated to make a difference yet Author: Nicole Hernandez Updated: 9:48 AM PST January 19, 2021
SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. With COVID-19 vaccines rolling out, there is a semblance of hope that restrictions will loosen as more people get vaccinated. But local experts say a lot more people need to be vaccinated before any changes happen.
The goal of the vaccine is to decrease the infection rate.
When enough people are immune to the virus, it cannot spread as quickly. That means the more people who get the vaccine, building up antibodies to COVID-19, the safer the community will be.
