HR County Receives 1,600 Vaccines This Week

Hood River County Health Department Health Officer Dr. Christopher Van Tilburg says the County received about 1,600 doses of COVID-19 vaccine this week.  He says they received several weeks worth because of transit delays caused by winter storms across the country, and many of the doses are designated for seniors.  He says right now the County’s aim is to complete vaccination of those 80 and older, then move through the age groups.  The Health Department itself is just doing second doses to health care workers, educators, and those in congregate care settings.  Other doses are being administered at primary care clinics.  Van Tilburg says Hood River County has the capability of vaccinating 10 percent of the population in a week, once they have the supply to do it.
