Seattle to get over 52,000 vaccine doses to give next week

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan’s office says the city and its partners will have more than 52,000 COVID-19 vaccinations to administer next week in the largest single-week vaccine allocation received to date. The mayor’s office said in a news release Friday that the city expects this level of supply to continue or increase and if public demand continues, Seattle could vaccinate 70% of its residents and workers by the end of May. Everyone age 16 or older in King County who hasn’t received a COVID-19 vaccination can sign up for the city’s vaccination appointment notification list.
