SPOKANE, Wash Eastern Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers sent a letter to Governor Jay Inslee Monday asking him to make improvements to vaccine distribution in Eastern Washington.
“Rural areas are at a disadvantage when it comes to health care access and infrastructure. We have a shared commitment of working to help set these communities up for success,” McMorris Rodgers wrote in the letter. “I urge your administration to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach to vaccine distribution, and to continue to provide certain priority population tiering flexibilities, so that health care providers can expeditiously administer the vaccine and avoid wastage.”
