The Hood River County Health Department continues to report progress in getting COVID-19 vaccinations done.  Department Health Officer Dr. Christopher Van Tilburg says by the end of next week, they will have well over 3,000 people vaccinated in the County, with the bulk of Phase 1A vaccinations having been administered, allowing them to move on to Phase 1B and the education group starting Thursday.  Van Tilburg says their progress is ahead of what he had predicted.  He added that volunteers are being used to help in the vaccination effort, and those who would like to help can go to the getreadygorge.com website to register.  Van Tilburg also urged people who are scheduled to get a vaccine soon to get their paperwork ahead of time, and if you have questions or concerns talk with your physician now so you are ready when the opportunity arrives to schedule a vaccination.
