Dec 22, 2020 Photo: Oregon Health Authority Long-term care residents and staff began receiving COVID-19 vaccinations today under a statewide rollout plan that prioritizes Oregonians who have been disproportionally impacted by the pandemic. Older adults and people with underlying health conditions are more likely to suffer life-threatening health consequences if they contract the virus. Given that the virus is so contagious, the risks are particularly high for those who live in large group settings. Because of this, an estimated 22,425 vaccine doses are planned for nursing facilities, and as the rollout continues, additional doses will be allocated to assisted living and residential care facilities.
