SPOKANE, Wash. As Washington continues to navigate COVID vaccine rollout, it can be hard to keep up. We’re here to make things easier, so when the time comes for you to get the shot, figuring out where to get it is one less thing on your plate.
First, you need to figure out if you qualify for the vaccine providers are going in a phased order. Currently, the state is prioritizing those 65 and older (or 50 and older if you live in a multigenerational household), as well as educators and child care workers in Washington.

OLYMPIA, Wash. A new group has been announced as eligible for the coronavirus vaccine in Washington State.
Those in Phase 1B, Tier 1 are now eligible for the vaccine.
This group includes everyone over 65, and persons over 50 in multi-generational households, where individuals from 2 or more generations reside, such as an elder and a grandchild.
The Whatcom County Health Department says there has only been enough vaccine shipped to Whatcom County to vaccinate about 50-60% of the top priority Phase 1A workers who are already eligible.
The department says about one third of local pharmacies and healthcare providers are enrolled in the state’s vaccine program, and 30 more who have started the enrollment process.
