Hood River County is above 80 percent of those 18 and older having received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and case rates are starting to come down in November after high numbers in September and October.  County COVID-19 Coordinator Daron Ryan says with vaccines now available for 5 to 11 year olds, they hope the decrease can be accelerated.  Ryan says several health care providers in the County are involved in getting the pediatric vaccine distributed, trying to get it to as many children as possible before the holidays.  She adds they are encouraging parents to take their children to the primary care provider for the shot, as the youngsters tend to be more comfortable in that setting.
