Lummi vaccinations added to county total, as state reports Whatcom's 99th COVID-19 death

Whatcom County will likely meet its 70% COVID-19 vaccination target faster now that 67% of residents aged 16 and older are known to be vaccinated. The increase comes as more than 4,700 Lummi Tribal Health vaccinations were added to state records Friday, June 4.

However, Whatcom County saw one new COVID-19-related death and 29 new confirmed cases on the Washington State Department of Health’s coronavirus dashboard Friday.
