Economic relief, infrastructure and health care were key points of discussion for Oregon Senator Ron Wyden during a town hall for Coos and Curry counties Friday
NORTH BEND â A group of public health staff and volunteers had flu shots in hand in the Pony Village Mall parking lot Friday â but they also had another vaccine in mind.
âFor us, this is going to be kind of a practice run through for potential COVID vaccination,â said Anthony Arton, the public health director for Coos Health & Wellness.
Arton, whoâs been on the job since October, was leading a drive-thru vaccination event, delivering free flu shots to anyone who passed through. But the team was also practicing for the possibility that, a few months from now, supplies of a COVID-19 vaccine will be much higher than they are now.
