In WA, you can get a COVID-19 shot no matter what RFK Jr. says

Washington state health officials announced a Standing Order making COVID-19 vaccines available to all residents aged 6 months and older. State Health Officer Dr. Tao Sheng Kwan-Gett highlighted the vaccines' well-researched nature and their role in saving lives globally. The order, effective immediately, seeks to eliminate confusion and misinformation surrounding vaccination, particularly in light of rising COVID-19 cases. In King County, emergency room visits for COVID-19 diagnoses have climbed back to 1.

75%, close to last fall's totals. The county's vaccination rate currently hovers around 27%, indicating a need for increased access. Most insurance providers will cover the vaccine costs, with free options available through state Medicaid and low-cost programs. Concurrently, the Western Health Alliance is forming to develop immunization guidelines based on respected national medical organizations. This initiative aims to address health policy challenges stemming from federal responses to the pandemic.
