Pharmacy Commission

COVID-19

Governor Inslee modifies Proclamation 20-36 to give pharmacies the flexibility they will need to store and access COVID-19 vaccines and treatments in locations outside of their pharmacies. The new statutory and regulatory waivers will continue until January 8, 2021.  All other proclamations noted in Plan-19 are extended by Senate Resolution 8402 until the termination of the state of emergency pursuant to RCW 43.06.210, or until rescinded, whichever occurs first.
