SALEM, Ore. Oregon Health Authority gave updates on the current vaccination timeline for eligible residents across the state. As of Saturday, 70 percent of those eligible (phase 1A, educators and elderly over 80 years old) have been administered their first dose of the vaccine.
OHA director Pat Allen said some allocations were redirected this week. This week we shifted some of our allocations from educators to certain counties that reported ongoing demand for the remaining people in phase 1A, Allen said.
