OHA Chief Financial Officer Dave Baden during today's press conference: "Building on yesterday’s total of 221,721 first doses admin., we expect to add another 30,000-40,000 first doses administered by the end of this week, before we begin vaccinating educators on January 25th."

"On Jan. 25, we will have vaccinated 67% of the Phase 1A workforce and long-term care residents. As we begin vaccinating educators, anyone we missed in Phase 1A will remain eligible for a vaccine."

"Over the next two weeks, we’ll specifically reserve approximately 40,000 first doses for Phase 1A workers and long-term care residents. Going into early February, we’ll have vaccinated approximately 72% of people in Phase 1A."

OHA Public Health Director Rachael Banks during today’s press conference: "I want to give you an overview of the pandemic in Oregon and an update on the progress of our vaccination efforts."

@OregonGovBrown

"As @OregonGovBrown said, we just don’t have enough vaccines to immunize everyone. As long as supplies are scarce, we’ll face really tough calls on who to immunize next. There are good reasons to prioritize educators & good reasons to prioritize seniors." sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us/DHSForms/Serve…

"The plan is to vaccinate most educators before we start vaccinating seniors on February 8. If we want to give schools a shot at re-opening this school year with a vaccinated staff, this is the time to do it."

We know Oregonians are interested in learning more about the rollout of #COVID19 vaccines in Oregon and we want to make sure you stay informed.

Today, 8,141 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total,⬇️

5,511 vaccine doses were administered on Jan. 18 & 2,630 were administered on prev. days but entered into the vaccine registry on Jan. 18.

Based on currently entered data, the avg. daily number of vaccinations for the past seven days has been 12,289 doses administered per day.⬇️

Cumulative daily totals can take several days to finalize because providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and technical challenges have caused many providers to lag in their reporting. ⬇️
