MEDFORD, Ore.– 168,000 Oregonians are now eligible to get vaccinated, because they’re 80 and older.
While a small fraction of those eligible statewide will be able to get the vaccine this week, Jackson County is not distributing them yet.
“There’s still a fair amount of people who need the vaccine,” said Jackson County Health Director, Dr. Jim Shames.
On Monday, Jackson County Public Health says it’s received over 2 thousand doses of the Moderna vaccine.
“Its a morale boost to know that we’re getting any vaccine. Some of our partners aren’t getting any, Asante got no vaccine this week, for example.”
