OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington COVID-19 vaccine eligibility will expand to more groups in a few weeks.
Starting March 22, workers in agriculture and grocery stores will be eligible for the vaccine, as will those in law enforcement and others included in the next eligibility phase, as long as vaccine supply to the state continues to increase.
Other critical worker groups covered under Phase 1B, Teir 2, are those in food processing, public transit, and firefighters, as well as those working in corrections, prisons, jails or detention centers.
People over the age of 16 who are pregnant or who have a disability that puts them at a high risk have also been added to those eligible at that time.
