The percentage of Wasco County residents over the age of 16 who have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine is now at 52.1%, but how quickly the County can get to the 65% level that automatically puts it into the state’s lower risk category is an open question.  North Central Public Health District Health Officer Dr. Mimi McDonell told Wasco County Commissioners Wednesday that with the current rate of vaccinations, it might take a couple of months.  The COVID-19 case count numbers in Wasco County have dropped down to 21 for the two weeks that ended Saturday, which would move the County down into the lower risk category.  But McDonell says Wasco County will remain at the moderate risk category for at least one more week, as the state is back to doing risk level changes every two weeks unless a county goes above the 65% vaccination rate.
