State health leader: We have a plan, we don't have the supply

EVERETT — It’s been 10 weeks since the COVID-19 vaccine landed in Washington.

In that time, 1.4 million shots have been administered statewide, with 94,000 coming from Snohomish County.

But for so many, the last month has meant spending hour after hour online, or on hold, trying to get an appointment.

“That makes it very frustrating for the individual,” state Secretary of Health Dr. Umair Shah said. “It makes it very confusing. It can make people angry, and it appears like, ‘Oh gosh, there isn’t a plan.’ It’s not that there isn’t a plan, there isn’t a supply.”

I live in Senior housing, so that part is not surprising, but with the news I'm hearing about shipping delays, in large part due to the storms back east, I'm glad I have the VA. Got my first shot yesterday, and am scheduled for the 2d shot in March.

I was thinking the VA was on its own program and it appears it is. So I can leave my "state" dose for someone else who needs it. I'm taken care of.
