Inside the slow rollout of coronavirus vaccines in Washington state
More than three weeks after the first vials of coronavirus vaccine arrived in Washington, the state has struggled to quickly vaccinate the most vulnerable people: long-term care residents and health care workers.
Some assisted-living facilities still don鈥檛 have vaccine appointments. Hospitals have scrambled to transfer vaccine to other hospitals that are short on doses. Many health care workers can鈥檛 find a site to get vaccinated. And the state Department of Health (DOH) can鈥檛 answer basic questions, like how many long-term care residents have been vaccinated or how much vaccine has been wasted.
