TACOMA-WASH. People on the frontline response to the COVID-19 pandemic serve a vital role in Pierce County. On Dec. 26 and 27, a group of roughly 740 EMS workers and healthcare providers got vaccinated against COVID-19 420 on Dec. 26 and 320 on Dec. 27. These workers are in group 1a of Washington State Department of Health’s COVID-19 vaccination plan.
The special two-day drive-thru event at the Pierce County Annex 2401 S. 35th St., Tacoma wasn’t open to the general public. Pierce County Department of Emergency Management and Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department organized it to increase vaccination of EMS workers and providers who are in this priority group. This focused approach allowed for the efficient vaccination of this vital workforce in a protected space.
