SEATTLE — Following reports of donors, volunteers and board members of medical systems being given special access to COVID-19 vaccines, the King County Council rebuked the practice in legislation passed Tuesday and called on the state to ban such preferential treatment.
The King County Council’s motion is the latest in a series of actions from government officials condemning special access to COVID-19 vaccines. Revelation of the practice comes at a time when the vaccine is in short supply, and its beleaguered distribution is fraught with inequities.
