PENDLETON â As Umatilla County is likely headed back into the âhigh riskâ category for COVID-19, the county is turning away vaccine allocations from the state because supply has outpaced demand.
Umatilla County Public Health Director Joe Fiumara said the county told the state it could send last weekâs allocation for Umatilla County to a county with higher demand, and will likely do so again this week.
âOur demand level is dropping dramatically,â he said.
Fiumara said Umatilla County Public Health currently has about 6,000 vaccine doses on hand, but is hearing from partners in the county that they donât need more doses yet. Last week, the county itself administered less than 500 doses total, and most of those were second doses. At some points during their most recent free clinic, Fiumara said, staff were just sitting and waiting around for anyone to arrive â a stark difference from the long lines a few weeks ago.
