Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to ensuring that equitable COVID-19 vaccine dose allocation is considered before a county may be reverted to a more restrictive phase under the healthy Washington: Roadmap to recovery plan; creating a new section; and declaring an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Washington Department of Health to monitor the COVID-19 vaccine dose allocation for each county on a weekly basis to ensure they are receiving an equitable share in proportion to the state's overall allocation. If the department determines a county is in danger of being reverted to a more restrictive phase, they must immediately adjust the vaccine dose allocation to ensure the county's allocation does not fall below the statewide average. The bill also states that a county that has not received an equitable share of vaccine doses cannot be reverted to a more restrictive phase. The bill takes effect immediately.
