Get a vaccine for them,” Inslee said emphatically. Even if you don’t care about your health, how about caring about the kids who can’t get the vaccine right now because they’re not eligible, maybe care about those kids a little bit. “If I may, I don’t think it’s too much to ask of a Washingtonian. The vaccination rate is still under 60% of the adult population in Clark County.
