Ted S. Warren, Associated Press Kittitas County in Washington state has made headlines for not wasting a single dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Why? Well, it’s always had to deal with crises that require people to work together, according to CNN. What’s going on? Kittitas County in Washington state has outpaced many spots across the country in vaccine rates because it has had time to manage disasters in the past, mostly related to wildfires. “We’re a fairly rural county, and we get significant weather events, mostly wildfires,” said Rich Elliott, the deputy fire chief of Kittitas Valley Fire and Rescue, according to CNN. “Our county has a 25-year history of just sort of everybody — the hospital, the school districts, law enforcement, fire agencies, federal state partners — we just cooperate.”
