Chief Christopher Carleton of Whatcom County Fire District 5 proposes to open a drive-thru vaccination site on the U.S. side of the Point Roberts border crossing.
As the story of the COVID-19 vaccine in the Pacific Northwest changes from scarcity to surplus, one northwestern Washington community says it is in a unique position to extend a helping hand across the border.
Point Roberts, USA, is attached to British Columbia and doesn’t connect by land to the rest of Washington state. Inoculation shots are scarcer in Canada. So, Point Roberts officials want to offer surplus vaccines to their northern neighbors. But bureaucratic hurdles stand in the way.
Thousands flock to Yakima mass vaccination site
What started as a slow trickle of people became a flood of cars over Easter weekend at the FEMA vaccination center in Yakima, Washington.
And as April 15 approaches (when all adults are eligible for vaccination in Washington), some Seattleites are heading East for a coveted Covid-19 shot.
Take a bus to the Yakima Valley SunDome. Get a free Uber or Lyft to the site. If you canât get there, mobile vaccination teams will come to
you. Health officials just want you to get a shot. If you show up weâre going to give you a vaccine, thatâs our goal, said Jordan Gustafson with the Valley Regional Fire Authority as he gave me a tour Sunday.
