We're in a race against time to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine, with more than 1,000 King County deaths so far and a nationwide fatality rate nearing 400,000. Health officials are struggling with the lagging rollout, community resistance and concerns over access for underserved communities in our region. We examine a COVID response that needs a serious shot in the arm.
