The health department says many people have now reached out asking how they can help the vaccine rollout. Here's how to get involved.

PUYALLUP, WA — The state is about to massively expand vaccine eligibility and the Tacoma - Pierce County Health Department will be ramping up their vaccination drives to match, but they'll need community support if they want to get as many people vaccinated as possible.
