Over 13,700 doses of COVID-19 vaccine had been administered as of the week ending April 3 in North Central Public Health District’s three-county service area of Wasco, Sherman and Gilliam counties. The district says Wasco and Sherman counties have vaccinated 38.2 percent of their population over age 16, and Gilliam County has vaccinated 31.7 percent. Wasco has vaccinated 65.1 percent of those 65 and older, Sherman 58.6 percent and Gilliam 48.2 percent. Those now eligible for the vaccine include agricultural workers, all frontline workers and their immediate families, those 16 and older with underlying health conditions and pregnant people 16 and older. NCPHD currently has Moderna, which is only available to those 18 and older, and the district says it is working with the Oregon Health Authority to get the Pfizer vaccine for those 16 and older in the coming weeks.
