Hood River County Health Department Director Trish Elliott told County Commissioners on Tuesday that they are prepared to increase the pace of COVID-19 vaccinations, they just need more vaccine.  Elliott says that they will receive 300 new doses this coming week, and the Oregon Health Authority has indicated that number won’t change for the next few weeks.  She added a surge in vaccine availability is still probably a few weeks out.  Elliott says the health department will be holding a clinic on Friday at which they will give out 650 does of the vaccine, 600 of which will be second doses to those who have already received their first.
