Weather Cancels Two HR Vaccine Clinics

Winter weather cancelled a couple of COVID-19 vaccine clinics in Hood River County last week, and health officials say they plan to move forward this week with giving shots to those 80 and older.  County Health Officer Dr. Christopher Van Tilburg said in a Sunday night Facebook video that they currently have 200 vaccines for those over the age of 80, and another 100 is anticipated to arrive this week.  He adds patience remains a necessity, asking those 65 and over not to call the Health Department but instead wait to hear from their primary health care provider.  Van Tilburg notes providers already have lists of patients in each age group and are reaching out to them.  Van Tilburg says there are around 5,000 Hood River County residents who are age 65 or older.
