Two first dose clinics have been scheduled for the county’s COVID-19 vaccination site at the Port of Grays Harbor.

Links to first dose Pfizer vaccine clinics Thursday, April 22 and Friday, April 23, were posted Friday on the Grays Harbor County Public Health vaccination appointment page, healthygh.org/covid19-vaccine-appointment. Vaccinations are open to anyone age 16 and older.

Numbers from the state COVID-19 data dashboard Friday show 43,588 total vaccine doses had been administered in the county. More than a third of the county’s population has had at least a first dose, and more than a quarter of the population has been fully vaccinated, more than 17,500 people. As of April 9, the mass vaccination site itself had provided 15,405 doses.

There are appointments available at numerous clinics and pharmacies across the county. To find one near you and find links to individual clinic reservation pages, go to the state’s vaccine locator website, vaccinelocator.doh.wa.gov/, and enter your zip code.

The county’s COVID-19 case count for the last year has reached 3,633. During the week of Thursday, April 8 to Wednesday, April 14, there were 50 new COVID-19 cases reported, up slightly from 35 the previous week. There were no deaths and just one hospitalization reported during the week; the county’s death total remains at 58, with the last death reported April 7. The death rate, the percent of deaths to total cases, in the county is 1.6%; the state rate is 1.4%.

The state’s risk assessment dashboard shows a case rate for the county of 91 newly diagnosed cases per 100,000 over the previous two weeks; last week, that number was 113.3. The other key metric, hospitalizations per 100,000 population over a week, as of April 14, was 2.7. In order to remain in Phase 3, the county needs to pass one of those two metrics, which it currently is — the baseline for a county the size of Grays Harbor is 200 for the case rate and 5 for hospitalizations. The next phase assessment is scheduled for May 3.

There have been 51,170 molecular COVID-19 tests given in the county through the pandemic, according to state Department of Health numbers updated Wednesday. Given the 3,450 confirmed cases in the county, this adds up to a positivity rate of just under 7%.

The county’s cases by ethnicity has a number of “unknowns,” 377, specific to the Stafford Creek Corrections Center outbreak. Public health said it is working to update ethnicity information as it becomes available. Current data shows 1,855 cases among whites, 607 among Hispanics, 201 black, and 161 American Indian cases.
