Two Whatcom regions have vaccination rates lower than 30% while Bellingham doubles that

Less than 50% of all Whatcom County residents have been initiated a COVID-19 vaccination, but new data released Tuesday, May 18, by the Whatcom County Health Department shows not all parts of the county are being vaccinated at equal rates.

While 60.3% of residents who reside in the region of the county covered by Bellingham Public Schools have initiated vaccination, no other school district region has had more than half of its residents initiate a vaccine, and two regions have had less than 30% begin vaccination.
