Governor Jay Inslee announced this week that the state is expanding its Phase 1B COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to include any Washingtonian age 65 or older, as well as those age 50 and older who are living in multi-generational households.
The move expanded vaccine eligibility, starting Monday, Jan. 18, to 1.5 million Washingtonians, including high-risk health care workers, first responders and residents and staff at long-term care facilities included in the state’s first phase of COVID-19 inoculations.
