COVID-19 vaccine distribution update from the Washington State Department of
Health 


OLYMPIA - The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) continues to make
progress with our COVID-19 vaccine distribution and administration efforts.

As of April 10, more than 4,189,884 doses of vaccine have been given across
the state, which is more than 82% of the 5,094,380 doses that have been
delivered to our providers and long-term care programs. Washington is
currently averaging 57,577 vaccine doses given each day and more than 22% of
people in Washington are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. This information
can be found on the

week.

Everyone 16+ eligible for vaccine April 15

Thursday everyone 16 and older will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine in
Washington. Expanding eligibility will help protect our communities and slow
the spread of the disease. Currently about four to five million people are
eligible for vaccine. Beginning April 15, about 1.5 million more people will
be eligible. As we move into the next tier, it may be more difficult to find
an appointment. We ask that people please be patient and know that while you
may not get the vaccine today, you will get it soon.

Currently Pfizer-BioNTech is the only COVID-19 vaccine authorized for people
16 years of age and older. We are working to add vaccine type to our

providers to clearly identify the type of vaccine they are offering for
available appointments. If the vaccine type is not listed, people may need
to contact the provider.

Pausing Johnson & Johnson vaccine 

Use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine has been

guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as they review data involving six
reported cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot in individuals who
received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The action is being taken out of an abundance of caution and the potential
side effects appear to be extremely rare. More than 6.8 million doses of the
Johnson & Johnson vaccine have been administered in the U.S., including
about 169,000 doses in Washington. We are not aware of these potential side
effects happening to anyone in our state.

Allocation update

Our three-week vaccine allocation forecast is an estimate that helps with
planning at the state and local level. The numbers are subject to change as
vaccine availability from the federal government may change.

*	Week of April 18: 364,700 total doses (191,680 first doses, 173,020
second doses) 

*	This includes 210,600 doses of Pfizer and 154,100 doses of Moderna

*	Week of April 25: 370,340 total doses (191,680 first doses, 178,660
second doses) 

*	This includes 212,940 doses of Pfizer and 157,400 doses of Moderna

*	Week of May 2: 377,360 total doses (191,680 first doses, 185,680
second doses) 

*	This includes 219,960 doses of Pfizer and 157,400 doses of Moderna

In addition to Pfizer and Moderna, the forecast shows Washington will
receive 4,300 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine each week. We have
reached out to our federal partners to see if these allocations will change
following the decision to pause use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
