On April 15 all citizens can sign up to get vaccinated; here’s a look at the options
We are now almost four months into vaccination distribution in Washington state, with counties now entering the Phase 3 guidelines for schools and businesses. Gov. Jay Inslee was in Vancouver last week touting the success of his administration’s COVID-19 programs. Over 3.7 million doses of the vaccines have been administered among the 7.6 million Washington citizens.
The Washington Department of Health (DOH) reports 346,470 confirmed cases of COVID-19, 24,232 possible cases, for a total of 370,652 cases as of April 6. That means fewer than five in 100 Washington citizens have contracted the virus. There have been 20,819 hospitalizations and 5,299 deaths. Less than 6 percent of people who get the virus end up in the hospital, although the state reports 44 percent of cases have an “unknown” status regarding hospitalization. The death rate is 1.4 percent of total cases.
