Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department press release.
We’ve administered more than 1.2 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine in Pierce County since last December. More than 550,000 county residents are fully vaccinated.
We’ve come a long way in a year’s time. But one-third of our eligible population remains unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated. One third of our friends, family and neighbors have less protection against COVID-19.
We also face the arrival of COVID-19 variants. Vaccines are still our best defense against all variants of COVID-19. Read more in this Your Reliable Source blog.
