State of Washington will no longer require Phase Finder to verify vaccine eligilities. In order to get as many vulnerable members of the community vaccinated as possible, the state has removed Phase Finder to speed up the process.
The Phase Finder will be replaced by Vaccine Locator to help Washington residents learn about eligibilities and schedule an appointment.
