Washington County looks to vaccine event for homeless in May April 27 2021
County officials say logistical problems and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine pause have hindered vaccinations for homeless.
A lack of adequate supply of COVID-19 vaccines and the pause in the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine have stifled efforts to vaccinate homeless people in Washington County, officials say.
It has been nearly a month since Oregon s vaccine eligibility guidelines expanded to include homeless people, specifically. Some were eligible previously due to having a medical condition or disability.
A small number of homeless Washington County residents have already received doses either through addiction recovery services or transitional housing programs, said Tyler Slattery, a senior program coordinator with the county s COVID-19 response team.
