“Snohomish County is staying focused on vaccinating our residents as safely and quickly as possible,” said Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers. “The limits to date have been the lack of adequate vaccine supply, but as our supplies increase, we will be ready to expand our capacity. We will continue to stay focused on doing our part until everyone in the county who wants to be vaccinated has been.”
“One of the most important assets we have in combating this pandemic is a well-informed public,” said Council Chair Stephanie Wright. “Listening and learning from each other is key to reducing our transmission numbers and working towards long-term economic recovery.”
“I have been hearing a lot of frustrations and concerns from constituents who have been having trouble accessing the vaccine. I’m glad to host this Town Hall to help showcase the hard work that the county has been doing to prepare for vaccine distribution,” said Council Vice Chair Megan Dunn. “I remain hopeful that federal supply of vaccine can catch up with local demand soon. Snohomish County is ready.”
