Vaccine Working to Protect Against New Variants of COVID in Washington
The COVID variant of concern in Washington originates from the UK. The vaccine seems to protect against the UK variant, which has been more transmissible and leads to more severe illness. Due to the new UK variant, the WA Road Map to Recovery is on hold, and no region will be progressing into Phase 3.

Please Continue to Wear Your Mask
Please continue wearing a face mask regardless of whether or not you received the first or second dose of the vaccine. It is essential that the mask completely covers your mouth and nose. A mask can make it difficult to hear one another when we speak, but it is critical to keep to mask in place as removing the mask defeats the purpose.
