NCPHD Pediatric COVID Vaccination Rate Lags Behind State

Data from the Oregon Health Authority shows just 26% of kids ages 5-11 have received their first vaccine dose, and in the North Central Public Health District the numbers are lower.  Wasco County is at 16%, Sherman County 7.8%, and Gilliam County 6.2%.  North Central Public Health District Health Officer Dr. Mimi McDonell says those who were certain they wanted their child vaccinated got it done quickly, but many parents have had questions about it.  Hood River County’s vaccination rate for children age 5 to 11 is above the statewide rate at 35%.
