Spokane, Kennewick vaccine sites close after weather delays

KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — Large COVID-19 vaccination sites in Spokane and Kennewick will be closed through the weekend because of weather delays in vaccine shipments. People with appointments should check their email for information on how to reschedule. The mass vaccination site in Ridgefield will be closed Saturday. Washington state health officials said Thursday they expect more than 200,000 doses to arrive late because of the winter storms elsewhere in the nation. Similar delays across the country are slowing the vaccination effort.
