Hood River County Health Department Health Officer Dr. Christopher Van Tilburg says the County has completed the majority of Phase 1A and Phase 1B group 1 COVID-19 vaccinations. That means around 5,000 vaccines have been given in Hood River County to healthcare workers and educators, and Van Tilburg says they have started on second dosing. Van Tilburg says they will start vaccinations for Phase 1B group 2 next week, those who are 80 years of age and older. But he does point out they will receive only 200 doses for that group for next week, and asked in a Facebook video for people not to call the health department or their doctor inquiring about vaccine availability at this stage. Van Tilburg says they will be using primary care providers to distribute the vaccine, and they will contact their own patients. Hood River County does have a website with COVID-19 vaccine information at hrccovid19.org.
