NCPHD Says Boosters Available, But Public Not Coming To Get Them

A North Central Public Health District official told Wasco County Commissioners Wednesday that COVID-19 vaccines and booster shots are available, but the public is not coming out to get them.  District Clinical Programs Supervisor Martha McInnes says Wasco County is 28th out of 36 Oregon counties for those eligible to receive a booster shot at about 37 percent.  She adds the district is trying to figure out the best way to get the message out that booster shots are important, noting they are very effective at keeping people out of the hospital, which is vital to support a health care system under a tremendous strain.  NCPHD holds a vaccination clinic every Thursday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Fort Dalles Readiness Center, go to ncphd.org for appointment information.
