TACOMA, Wash Healthcare workers in Washington are optimistic following the approval of a new COVID-19 vaccine by Johnson & Johnson, making three vaccines, including Pfizer and Moderna, now available.
The state is getting ready to take in more doses of the vaccine. But some are wondering if the need arises, who could be qualified to administer the vaccines once they arrive?
