State approves City of Seattle as COVID vaccine distributor
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan announced Tuesday that the city has been approved as a COVID-19 vaccine distributor and will use two mobile vaccination units.
SEATTLE - The Washington State Department of Health approved the city of Seattle to be a coronavirus vaccine distributor, a step that was necessary for the city to be able to set up its own system for vaccinating people.
The Seattle Fire Department will be launching two mobile vaccination teams for the effort, and distribution could start as early as this Thursday. The Seattle Fire Department EMTs and emergency responders were authorized to administer these vaccines last week.
