Drug Overdoses Increase In Spokane County, As Well As In Washington


SPR s Doug Nadvornick reports.

In Spokane County, only 55.4 percent of the population has received at least one vaccine, and while that number increases by a half of a percent every few days, Dr. Frank Velazquez from Spokane’s Regional Health District is confident that trend will continue. ....
