Accessible only by air, sea or trail, Stehekin faces unique COVID-19 vaccine challenge
Two communities isolated from the everyday world now have the COVID-19 vaccine.
On the far end of Lake Chelan sit Holden Village and Stehekin. No roads lead to these communities. You can only get there by boat, plane or hiking in on the Pacific Crest Trail.
These are places where, if you get seriously ill, with the coronavirus, for example, there’s no easy way to get out and no easy way to get life-saving medical care.

Weekly U.S. shipments of Johnson & Johnson s COVID-19 vaccine are dropping to 1.5 million for the coming week after a one-time supply spike of 11 million the previous week. The U.S. government allocated a total of 1.5 million doses of J&J s single-shot vaccine for shipment this week, including 700,000 for states, tribes and territories and 800,000 for other destinations including pharmacies and community health centers, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. J&J declined to comment. The other channels will receive about 40% of the total doses shipped in the coming week.
As Sounders FC hosts San Diego Loyal SC at Lumen Field tomorrow night in the Rave Green’s closing contest of their preseason slate, the club today announced that it will use the match to honor frontline healthcare workers from Virginia Mason Franciscan Health (VMFH).
In an exclusive opportunity for what is otherwise a closed-door match, the club provided VMFH with over 200 tickets to be distributed to employees and their families, inviting them to enjoy the game in appreciation of the extraordinary work that they have done, and continue to do, in the face of the COVID-19 public health crisis.
By Peter Loftus Deliveries of Johnson & Johnson s Covid-19 vaccine doses throughout the U.S. are expected to plunge by more than 80% next week, according to state officials and federal data, as J&J grapples with manufacturing challenges. The federal government has allocated just 700,000 doses of J&J s vaccine to U.S. states, territories and certain cities and federal agencies next week, compared with 4.9 million doses that were allocated for this week, according to information posted online by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The expected sharp decrease will complicate states officials mass vaccination plans at a time when they re counting on a greater supply of doses to help immunize the growing number of people becoming eligible.
