JACKSON COUNTY, Ore. Jackson County says it has enough vaccines to do next week’s 2nd vaccination clinic at the Expo.
But in a press conference today, Governor Kate Brown said next week’s plan to begin vaccinating seniors, could take much longer.
Oregon’s plan to begin vaccinating seniors 80 and older next Monday, is hitting a snag.
The state does not have as many vaccines as it had hoped.
“Next week, when seniors begin to be eligible, we will see some degree of chaos, next week many older adults will inevitably voice frustration, next week you will not have to look hard for to experience people experiencing confusion,” says Patrick Allen, Oregon Health Authority Director.

Mecklenburg County opens COVID-19 vaccination appointments for those 65 and older
Vaccine appointments fill up quickly in Mecklenburg County By WBTV Web Staff and Caroline Hicks | January 19, 2021 at 2:00 PM EST - Updated January 22 at 1:42 PM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Healthcare workers and those 65 and older will now be able to make COVID-19 vaccination appointments in Mecklenburg County.
Last week Mecklenburg County Public Health announced that it will be opening additional appointments for the first three weeks of February for Groups 1 and 2 based on anticipated vaccine supply.
“We are planning on making about 1,500 appointments each week, with the hopes that if vaccines become more available we can open up more appointments,” Mecklenburg County Medical Director Dr. Meg Sullivan said.
County health officials say some long-term care facility residents are worried about taking the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine because of the potential for side effects. They're now trying to get the message out that it's important and safe to take both doses.
