Vaccinated Americans ditched the face mask and summer travel has already surged.
Now, Washington state is trying to make the comeback permanent, as soon as 70% of adults get that first shot of the vaccine.
Right now, that number sits at 63% across Washington, according to the State Department of Health, and Spokane is trying to reach that goal, too, as 50% of adults in the county already have one dose.
“I do believe Spokane county will get there, too,” said interim Health Officer Dr. Frank Velazquez. “Maybe a little later, maybe right in line with the 30th [of June], but it doesn’t really matter; as long as we get there.”
