Washington now has capacity to vaccinate 45,000 people per day once it gets supply, Inslee says
Gov. Jay Inslee on Thursday said Washington has built the capacity to vaccinate at least 45,000 people per day once supply is available.
The announcement comes as the state continues to work to speed up its coronavirus vaccination efforts to get the doses out to the highest risk members of the community.
"We are now are capable of vaccinating over 45,000 people a day. All we need is the doses, we need the vaccine," Inslee said during a news conference Thursday. "But the good news is is as vaccine supplies increase, as we hope and believe they will, we now will be ready to get them into arms as quickly as humanly possible."
The state has given an average of about 28,000 doses per day over the past seven days, far more than the seven-day average it was administering just two weeks earlier. But the state is not yet receiving the supply it needs from the federal government to meet its target.
