Oregon reaches 70% adult vaccination goal before holiday weekend
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) Oregon reached another vaccination milestone Friday: 70% of adults 18 years and older have now received at least one vaccination in advance of the July 4th holiday weekend, the Oregon Health Authority reported.
Oregon’s number is based on data reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Friday, and data in Oregon’s ALERT IIS system, which has not yet been uploaded to the CDC website.
According to the CDC, 2,343,617 adult Oregonians had received at least one dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or a shot of the single-dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine, as of Thursday. That total leaves Oregon 2,206 adult first doses short of 70%.
