The CDC released updated guidance on May 13, 2021 that fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear face coverings or physically distance in most indoor and outdoor settings regardless of crowd size. Mask wearing is still recommended in certain indoor settings, such as healthcare facilities, transportation hubs, and correctional facilities. Fully vaccinated people should continue to follow any applicable federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations.

From The Atlantic: How CDC handed over hospitalization-data control to HHS
Hospitalization data reveal the condition of the country’s hospitals: COVID-19 admissions, currently hospitalized patients, ICU availability, and access to personal protective equipment and other supplies. Over time the HHS system has become the most reliable source of federal pandemic data.
https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/01/hhs-hospitalization-pandemic-data/617725/
---
Examining the COVID Tracking Project’s map of the HHS release, one can zoom in on Seattle, say, and find data about how full any given hospital’s ICU is that week. It provides an unprecedented look at precisely how much pressure COVID-19 places on our health-care systems. The White House’s Coronavirus Task Force is now using this kind of information to dispatch medical support teams to hard-hit areas.

Kaiser Permanente -- https://kp.org/wa/e-visit -- 1‑800‑352‑3610 -- Posted 1-20-2021
New information about distribution of COVID‑19 vaccines 1-20-2021
We have important information to share with you about the distribution of the 2 safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines that have been approved. We are excited to have these vaccines available, and we know that many of you are interested in receiving it. Because the vaccines are still in very short supply, Kaiser Permanente is following the guidelines for distribution from federal and state health departments, and it could take several weeks to schedule an appointment for the vaccine if you are eligible.
Current Phase 1: Tiers A1, A2, and B1 vaccine distribution
The groups listed below are the first individuals eligible to receive the vaccine. People in Tiers A1 and A2 have been eligible since late December. On January 18, Washington state Governor Jay Inslee announced that people in Tier B1 are also eligible and expanded this tier to include people 65 and over.
Tiers A1 and A2
You must have an appointment. Appointments are being scheduled for the vaccine we have available. These appointments are for people in Phase 1, Tier A1, A2, and B1. If you believe you are in one of these groups, go to kp.org/wa/e-visit and complete an e-visit.
If the e-visit determines that you are eligible for the vaccine, you will be directed to a website to make an appointment. You'll be able to make an appointment to receive the first dose of the vaccine and the second dose (2 doses are needed) that must be given a few weeks later. If you believe you are in Phase 1, Tier A1, A2, or B1 and don't have computer access, please call 1‑800‑352‑3610 for assistance.
COVID-19 vaccinations will be given at select Kaiser Permanente sites. You will need to return to the same site for the second dose of the vaccine.
Please note that while we have added many appointment times, an appointment may not be immediately available. It will take several weeks before we'll have enough vaccine on hand to vaccinate everyone who is now eligible. We ask for your patience as we all work toward the same goal: getting this critical vaccine to everyone who is eligible.

Current Phase 1: Tiers A1, A2, and B1 vaccine distribution
The groups listed below are the first individuals eligible to receive the vaccine. People in Tiers A1 and A2 have been eligible since late December. On January 18, Washington state Governor Jay Inslee announced that people in Tier B1 are also eligible and expanded this tier to include people 65 and over.
Tiers A1 and A2
- Workers in health care setting
- First responders
- Workers and residents in long-term care facilities
- People 65 and older
- People 50 years and older in a multigenerational household (defined as a home where individuals from 2 or more generations reside, such as an elder and a grandchild. This does not include a parent or guardian caring for a child or teen.)
You must have an appointment. Appointments are being scheduled for the vaccine we have available. These appointments are for people in Phase 1, Tier A1, A2, and B1. If you believe you are in one of these groups, go to kp.org/wa/e-visit and complete an e-visit.
If the e-visit determines that you are eligible for the vaccine, you will be directed to a website to make an appointment. You'll be able to make an appointment to receive the first dose of the vaccine and the second dose (2 doses are needed) that must be given a few weeks later. If you believe you are in Phase 1, Tier A1, A2, or B1 and don't have computer access, please call 1‑800‑352‑3610 for assistance.
COVID-19 vaccinations will be given at select Kaiser Permanente sites. You will need to return to the same site for the second dose of the vaccine.
Please note that while we have added many appointment times, an appointment may not be immediately available. It will take several weeks before we'll have enough vaccine on hand to vaccinate everyone who is now eligible. We ask for your patience as we all work toward the same goal: getting this critical vaccine to everyone who is eligible.
