Federal vaccine doses not included in Washington state count, impacting pandemic response
Published
SEATTLE - Thousands of COVID-19 vaccinations from two federal health care providers have not been counted in official Washington state vaccination statistics, complicating the state’s pandemic response, officials said.
Vaccinations from the Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs remain in the federal computer system, meaning county health officials cannot consider the statistics when determining restrictions or reopening plans in the state, The Seattle Times reported. It also artificially lowers the vaccination rate, officials said. We would very much like to have vaccination data info from the VA and Department of Defense, like all other vaccine providers in Washington state are required to report, so we can fully understand vaccine coverage rates and potential disparities across our communities, King County Health Officer Dr. Jeff Duchin said.

Now that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine has been approved for adolescents, hundreds of thousands of parents likely are searching for a place to get their kids vaccinated.
Many are expected to call their pediatricians only to find they don’t have vaccines in stock, partly because doctors have been worried about wasting doses.
But new guidance from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aims to persuade more doctors to stock the vaccine by assuring them that wasting some doses is an acceptable price to pay for inoculating their patients as quickly as possible.
