Hundreds get COVID-19 vaccine in Sequim after camping in cars overnight
Hundreds get COVID-19 vaccine in Sequim after camping in cars overnight
SEQUIM, WA - In Sequim, hundreds of folks sat in their cars for hours while waiting for the opportunity to get the COVID-19 vaccine from the Jamestown Family Health Clinic.
For the second time this week, the clinic offered COVID-19 vaccinations to members of the Sequim community who are 70-years-old and older.
Community members could drive right up to a tent and get the vaccine while still in their car.
This is outside the current Tier A descriptions of who can receive the vaccine in Washington; however, the clinic is able to do this because they are run by the Jamestown S’Kallam tribe.
