“#Starbucks to help Washington state ramp up COVID-19 vaccinations<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Starbucks wants to make getting a coronavirus vaccine as easy as grabbing a pumpkin spice latte.<\/p>\n

Washington State officials tapp<\/a>ed the coffee giant to help them ramp up the state\u2019s COVID-19 vaccination capacity with the goal of inoculating 45,000 people a day.<\/p>\n

The Seattle-based chain has a team of engineers helping state officials set up vaccination centers that can efficiently inoculate large numbers of people without sacrificing patients\u2019 comfort, Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a state and as a nation, building vaccination capacity puts us in a position to play offense with this global pandemic,\u201d Johnson said at a press briefing<\/a> Monday.<\/p>\n

Other Washington-based companies including Microsoft and Costco will also play a role in the state\u2019s vaccination campaign along with the National Guard and health-care groups such as Kaiser Permanente, Gov. Jay Inslee\u2019s office said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Washington officials are currently vaccinating between 13,000 and 15,000 people each day, according to Inslee<\/a>. While the state\u2019s goal of 45,000 daily shots would outpace its supply of 100,000 doses a week, Inslee said officials want to have more capacity in place before the feds start sending more vaccines.<\/p>\n

Starbucks has \u201cbeen pretty good at delivering coffee, with good coffee around the world,\u201d the Democratic governor told NBC News<\/a>. \u201cThey have logistical assistance, which is quite helpful, in fact, training other entities how to run a high-throughput vaccination center.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inslee announced the plan amid concerns about the slow pace of the vaccine rollout in the US.<\/p>\n

The feds have distributed more than 31 million doses across the country, but only about 12 million had gotten into Americans\u2019 arms as of Friday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this rate of vaccinations, it\u2019s going to take six, seven, eight years for this country to get vaccinated, and we can\u2019t think that\u2019s an acceptable pace,\u201d Johnson told NBC.<\/p>\n
