Klickitat County Health Director Says Pause Came As A Surprise

Klickitat County Public Health Director Erinn Quinn said Tuesday’s announcement by Washington Governor Jay Inslee to put a two-week pause on changes in reopening phases for counties came as a bit of surprise.  Quinn said the County’s COVID-19 numbers should have allowed them to stay in Phase 3 anyway, but there was concern Inslee could make changes to the metrics.  Quinn said she is happy with vaccination rates in Klickitat County right now, with 33 percent of those 16 and older fully vaccinated, and 43 percent have at least one dose.  But she added vaccine demand has started to decline, so they are trying to determine how best to reach those who have been unable to get a vaccine or answer questions for those that are hesitant.
