SPOKANE, Wash. Spokane Mayor Nadine Woodward received her first dose of COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday and said she hopes other people will, too.
Woodward became eligible on April 15, when the state opened up eligibility to all Washingtonians 16 and older. She visited a Providence clinic at Gonzaga University to get her first shot.
“I specifically wanted to come to the site here at Gonzaga University because our uptick in cases is in the younger demographics – 29 and under, and so we need to do everything we can to encourage them to get vaccinated,” Woodward said.
