Pierce County works to dispel vaccine hesitancy as vaccinations slow down
Pierce County has broadened access to the COVID-19 vaccine, but now health officials are running into a new problem: vaccine hesitancy and people not showing up. Author: Lionel Donovan (KING) Updated: 7:10 PM PDT April 22, 2021

We’re still encouraging people to register, so they can sign up and get a vaccine, but we are seeing that pace slow a bit.
