LA GRANDE â Eastern Oregon University hosted a COVID-19 vaccination clinic Tuesday, May 4, that drew almost 100 students, faculty and staff to the La Grande campus to receive their first dose of the Moderna vaccine.
The effort comes as vaccination rates around the country climb while cases countywide continue to remain low. COVID-19 infection rates have fallen to just under 72 cases per 100,000 residents, according to the Oregon Health Authority, marking a steady decline since the county reopened businesses in late February of this year.
The clinic at Quinn Coliseumâs practice gym was a partnership between the university and the Center for Human Development. Many of the attendees said they learned about the clinic through an EOU email.
