Republican lawmakers are accusing Democrat Governor Kate Brown of prioritizing urban over rural residents for vaccine distribution.  Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen said during a Friday press conference that doses are being redirected this week to the Portland Metro area and 12 other counties who have a significant amount of eligible people not vaccinated.  Allen says the reduction is for this coming week only.  Republican legislative leaders Rep. Christine Drazan and Sen. Fred Girod said the governor’s decision to send additional vaccines to the Metro area is “prioritizing urban Oregon over the needs of rural Oregon.”  Allen said counties that received higher allocations or that believe they’ve vaccinated their eligible populations will get fewer vaccines next week, while others will get more to accelerate their progress.  According to numbers released at the press conference, Wasco, Sherman, and Gilliam counties will receive around 100 fewer vaccines this coming week than planned, while no details were given for Hood River County.
