Hood River County health officials continue to wait for vaccine supplies to increase so they can increase the pace of immunizations. County Health Department Director Trish Elliott told County Commissioners on Monday that providers have been using more than simply age to determine who gets shots, but also prioritizing based on need. Elliott said the County would be capable of administering 1,000 shots in a single day if they had the vaccine supply. Commissioners discussed sending a letter to Oregon Health Authority officials to emphasize what they are ready to do once the vaccine becomes available. Elliott noted the approval of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine for use, but added she did not expect the local area to receive it anytime soon.
