LeadingAge WA used the results you sent us from our vaccine survey, along with the rise in daily case counts and hospitalizations to plead our case to Governor Inslee, as well as the Secretary of Health, Dr. Bob Lutz at DOH, Assistant Secretary of ALTSA, Bill Moss, and our WA State Senators, Murray, and Cantwell.
