The dashboard will serve as the state’s main source for vaccine data and will be updated three times a week.
The department has also launched an online tool that determines whether residents are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, reported CBS affiliate KREM 2.
The tool, called PhaseFinder, asks users questions to determine their eligibility for phase 1 of the state’s vaccine plan. Using PhaseFinder, residents can prove that they’re vaccine-eligible at a vaccination site. The department is using a trust-based system in the hopes that residents provide accurate information when they use PhaseFinder, KREM 2 reported.
For now, Washington is in phase 1A of the vaccine plan, which provides eligibility to at-risk healthcare workers, first responders and long-term care facility residents and staff — over half a million Washingtonians fall into those categories, reported KREM 2.
The second phase of the department’s vaccination plan is expected to come in early January, KREM 2 reported.
