DRW encouraged by DHS’ reprioritized vaccine eligibility for people with chronic medical conditions

A black person receives a vaccine shot.

DRW expresses appreciation to the Department of Health Services for reprioritizing vaccine eligibility for people with chronic medical conditions, and for specifically naming those with intellectual disabilities.  This group will now be eligible for the vaccine on Monday, March 22 — one week before previously planned.
