As more teachers and school staffers return to classrooms for in-person instruction, their COVID-19 eligibility timeline can be confusing.
Earlier this week, Gov. Jay Inslee and the Washington State Department of Health issued a revised vaccine distribution schedule for all Washingtonians.
The changes moved the state to Phase 1B-Tier 1, allowing everyone 65 and older and those 50 and older living in multigenerational households eligible to be vaccinated. In addition, the state said it is allowing provider flexibility to distribute vaccines for individuals eligible for the next stages, Phase 1B, tiers 2-4.
