The Hood River County Health Department says it has received its first doses of COVID-19 vaccine for distribution to Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital, and local EMS and law enforcement staff for state guidelines.  A statement from the department says the current amount of vaccine received will not cover all those to receive vaccines in Phase 1a.  Walgreens has been contracted to distribute and administer vaccine to the County’s long term care facilities and they have begun scheduling visits.  Vaccinations of the first group of those designated Phase 1a from EMS and Law Enforcement are to take place Tuesday.  The County says it hopes to receive vaccine weekly and will continue to administer it to all those designated in Phase 1a.
