County COVID-19 briefing: Cases continue to decline, vaccine frustration lingers Posted: February 23, 2021
Declining COVID cases, but lingering vaccine frustration marked Snohomish County’s latest coronavirus briefing Tuesday.
The vaccine pipeline is slowly reopening here. Dr. Chris Spitters, the county’s chief health officer, said during the briefing that the county is getting deliveries that were promised last week and getting this week’s vaccine allotment as well. That means 30,000 doses “within the next day or two,” Spitters told reporters. That’s 10,000 doses for first shots; 20,000 slated for people getting the second shot.
The county warns that there have been misleading notices and posts claiming vaccine sites are “first-come, first-served.” That, Spitters said, is not true. To get the vaccine, you must have an appointment. A new state online appointment system has been delayed, again, as the county continues to test it.
