At its first weekend mass vaccination clinic on Saturday, North Central Public Health District, with assistance from Mid-Columbia Fire & Rescue and Medical Reserve Corps members, vaccinated 290 people. The district says many were intellectually and developmentally disabled individuals and their caregivers. Educators and childcare providers will be the main focus on another large vaccination clinic this coming Saturday that will serve 400 people. Some educators already got their vaccines last Saturday. The invitation-only events are held at The Dalles Readiness Center. Sherman County educators and childcare providers have been vaccinated, and Gilliam County childcare providers were vaccinated last Friday and educators will be vaccinated this Friday. Educators in Wasco County are being contacted by their schools with information about the vaccination clinic. All who work for school districts qualify for vaccines, as well as those who contract with the district, such as coaches. Childcare providers will be contacted by Childcare Partners. Seniors over 80 will be eligible for vaccines starting Feburary 8. Those 75 and older are eligible February 15, those 70 and older are eligible on February 22, and those 65 and older are eligible March 1. The health district would like to hear from anyone in Phase 1a who has not yet received a vaccine, call 541-506-2600. The phase broadly includes any healthcare workers, mental health workers, workers in group homes, and emergency responders.
