Oregon and Washington have two different approaches to determining when those who smoke will be vaccinated.
The CDC lists smoking as an underlying condition that puts people at an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
In states like New Jersey and Mississippi, smokers were among the first to become eligible for vaccination.
In Washington, the state elected to list smoking as one of the two required comorbidities in order to qualify in Phase 1b Tier 3, which is expected to start receiving vaccinations on April 12th.
Updated February 8 A pulse oximeter measures blood oxygen levels and is one of the key ways to determine how serious someone s case of COVID-19 is. But it s not always a racially equitable device.

THE FINDING: Michael Sjoding, a pulmonary physician and professor based in Michigan and originally from Salem, Ore., conducted a study on the device, which was published in December. His findings were first noted by the Salem Reporter. The results, which analyzed white and Black ICU patients, revealed that compared to white patients, Black patients had hidden and dangerously low oxygen levels in their blood not detected by a pulse oximetry device at nearly three times the rate of white patients.
