OHA has also been keeping track of the number of administered vaccines in the state. On Thursday, OHA reported 16,355 new doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were added to the state's total.
“While we hit the Governor’s goal of hitting 12,000 vaccines administered in a day last week,” said OHA Director Patrick Allen, “we want to sustain and expand our daily totals. The state can’t achieve our goal to deliver vaccinations quickly, efficiently and equitably, all on our own. I’m grateful for the hard work that staff in hospitals, local health clinics and other sites have put into ramping up vaccinations for Oregonians. Vaccines are the safest and most effective way we can end this pandemic.”
So far, Oregon has administered a total of 146,137 doses of COVID-19 vaccines of the 321,425 doses that have been delivered to sites across Oregon.
Information on the 29 people who died was not immediately available.
