MONROE, Wash. It’s been a battle from the beginning: Seniors have been trying to book COVID-19 vaccine appointments and are getting nowhere.
Snohomish County was set to unveil a new, easier way to book vaccine appointments this week, but according to county leaders, it is just not ready.
“We’re committed to this one being markedly better, and so we’re taking the time to make sure it actually is when we roll it out,” said Jason Biermann, Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management.
