SEATTLE – With a quick shot in the arm, health care workers in Washington began receiving the COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday, marking a turning point 10 months after the state confronted the first U.S. outbreak of the virus.
“For the first time in a while, I feel hope,” University of Washington Medical Center nurse Amy Fry said after becoming the first worker there to be vaccinated. “It’s been a long, exhausting road.”
