SAN FRANCISCO, April 30 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan on Friday announced that a total of 67 percent of eligible Seattle residents have begun the vaccination process, which puts the city second among all major American cities in vaccination progress only after San Francisco.
More than 100,000 individuals have been inoculated at the city-affiliated vaccination sites since the city launched its COVID-19 vaccination effort on Jan. 14, according to the announcement.
"These are incredible milestones, and if we continue this effort, we'll reach a level of community protection where so many of us - particularly our most vulnerable - will be protected from the most serious effects of this virus," said Durkan.
To date, nearly 40 percent of eligible Seattle residents are fully vaccinated.
The city will offer vaccinations to all eligible fans at home games, beginning this Sunday, according to the announcement. Enditem
