Local Students Involved in Vaccination Challenge
Yakima County Health officials are doing all they can to increase the number of people who are vaccinated against COVID-19 in the valley. The latest effort is called Race for Community Immunity and five Yakima County High Schools are involved in the challenge. It started on May 19 and the students are now in a race to see which student body has more people vaccinated. Schools involved in the challenge include Davis High School, Eisenhower High School, Yakima Online, La Salle High School, and Toppenish High School. A press release from the Yakima Health District says as part of this challenge, eligible students are encouraged to get vaccinated at the Community Vaccination Center (CVC) at Yakima State Fair Park or at Mobile Vaccine Unit locations. Every week, the Yakima Health District will provide updates on the percentage of students vaccinated by schools. Only those 16 and older will count as part of this challenge.

Thousands flock to Yakima mass vaccination site
What started as a slow trickle of people became a flood of cars over Easter weekend at the FEMA vaccination center in Yakima, Washington.
And as April 15 approaches (when all adults are eligible for vaccination in Washington), some Seattleites are heading East for a coveted Covid-19 shot.
Take a bus to the Yakima Valley SunDome. Get a free Uber or Lyft to the site. If you canât get there, mobile vaccination teams will come to
you. Health officials just want you to get a shot. If you show up weâre going to give you a vaccine, thatâs our goal, said Jordan Gustafson with the Valley Regional Fire Authority as he gave me a tour Sunday.
