Six medical professionals at St. Charles Bend were among the first in Central Oregon to be vaccinated for COVID-19 on Monday, according to hospital officials.
The volunteers sat at six tables in a ground-floor conference room at the hospital and were injected with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which was fast-tracked through the approval process 10 days ago.
On the same day, the Oregon Health Authority reported that 39 people tested positive for COVID-19 in Deschutes County, the lowest daily case count since early November. Health authority officials also reported the death on Monday of a Deschutes County man. The 58-year-old tested positive for COVID-19 on Dec. 14, and died Dec. 19 at St. Charles, according to health officials.
