What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, the Department of Health Services is directing the distribution of

COVID-19 vaccinations in sequential phases according to vaccine prioritization

guidelines from the federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. This

bill directs DHS not to prioritize an incarcerated person for vaccination before the

individual would otherwise be eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccination under

the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices' Updated Interim

Recommendation for Allocation of COVID-19 Vaccine. Further, this bill directs DHS

not to prioritize incarcerated persons within an allocation phase.
