The first doses of a COVID-19 vaccine were administered in Oregon on Wednesday, beginning a process that won’t likely be finished until summer. Two Portland-area hospitals and one in Ontario, in Malheur County, took part in a live video feed of the first doses of the Pfizer vaccine being administered to health care workers. The vaccine requires two shots, with about three weeks in between. Gov. Kate Brown said it had been 292 days since the first COVID-19 case was confirmed in Oregon. “This is truly the moment we have all been waiting for,” Brown said during the event. “The beginning of the next chapter of the epidemic.”
