‘Technical problems’ have reduced the daily number of cases, says the agency
PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) – COVID-19 claimed ten more lives in Oregon, increasing the death toll from the state to 1,568, the Oregon Health Authority reported Thursday.
OHA also reported 867 new confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 Thursday, bringing the state to 121,085.
The agency said the case today is less than expected due to technical issues.
Vaccinations in Oregon
On Thursday, OHA recorded 5,249 doses of administered vaccine – including 995 seconds of doses – which increased the total number of doses from the state to 66,920.
This figure is based on preliminary reports of 3,429 doses administered on Thursday, as well as 1820 doses administered on previous days, which have not yet been recorded. OHA’s daily media updates provide information that is preliminary and subject to change. The OHA’s panels provide more up-to-date vaccination data.
All vaccinations took place at Oregon hospitals, long-term care facilities, emergency medical services agencies (EMS), emergency care facilities and local public health authorities.
To date, 250,100 doses of vaccine have been delivered to locations in Oregon.
The Charles health system gave 2,462 vaccinations with Pfizer-BioNTech earlier Thursday.
