Oregon Vaccination Rate Hits 80%

The Oregon Health Authority reports that 80% of Oregonians 18 and older have had at least one dose in a vaccination series against COVID-19.  The Centers for Disease Control’s percentage of adults who’ve received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine is slightly higher than the number and percentage reported on Oregon’s vaccination dashboard.  The CDC’s data include vaccinations delivered through federal installations and facilities, such as the Veteran’s Administration.  Overall, Oregon has delivered at least on dose of a COVID-19 vaccine to 68 percent of all residents, with children below 12 remaining ineligible for a vaccine.  Oregon has fully vaccinated 63 percent of all residents and ranks 12th in the nation for the percentage of residents who are fully protected.  Health experts estimate that Oregon and other states remain below the level of “herd immunity” required to extinguish viral transmission, and experts continue to urge people who are unvaccinated to get immunized.
