Oregon’s COVID-19 vaccination effort continues with the state’s first long-term care facility, residents and staff receiving vaccinations. Oregon, like other states, does not currently have enough vaccine to immunize everyone against COVID-19. The first people getting the vaccine are healthcare workers and people who live or work in long-term care facilities.
