HR County Expects To Reach 6,000 Vaccinations This Week

The Hood River County Health Department says by the end of this week it will have administered 6000 vaccinations, completing approximately 25% of its targeted populations.  Oregonians age 75 and above are now eligible to begin vaccination against COVID-19, but County officials say that does not mean they will have the necessary doses or staff available to distribute to all that are eligible.  The County says it is expecting 300 doses per week for the foreseeable future, with about 5000 seniors 65 and up in the county.  In Hood River County if you are age 80 or over you will be contacted to schedule your COVID-19 vaccine by your primary care provider.  If you do not have a primary care provider, the County advises to await instructions.  The health department will be coordinating COVID-19 vaccination for those who do not have a primary care provider once it has vaccine available.  Information can be found online at hrccovid19.org or by phone in English 541-399-8022, and in Spanish at 541-399-8023.
