King County officials over the past several months have been working to make it easier for people to get their COVID-19 vaccines.
A helpline launched by Hopelink can now help people overcome one more barrier: transportation.
People can call the Coordinated Vaccine Transportation Helpline at 425-943-6706 as a one-stop-shop for finding and securing transportation support to and from vaccine appointments in and around King County, the organization said in a news release this week.

A local educational agency says it was hit with a data breach that could have exposed personal information from teachers and students.
The Puget Sound Educational Service District, which helps support public, private, and charter schools in King and Pierce Counties, as well as Bainbridge Island, said unauthorized people accessed an unknown number of staff and student emails on more than one occasion between last spring and summer.
Those emails included sensitive data such as names, birthdates, social security numbers, bank account information, and medical records.
“We are conducting an extensive review of all those messages and documents,” said Jessica DeBarro, executive director of communications, government, and public relations for the district.
