PORTLAND, Oregon. (KTVZ) – COVID-19 claimed another life in Oregon, increasing the death toll in the state to 1,800, the Oregon Health Authority said on Sunday.
OHA also reported 799 new confirmed and presumed cases of COVID-19 at 12:01 am on Sunday, bringing the state total to 133,205.
Vaccinations in Oregon
On Sunday, OHA reported that 15,784 new doses of COVID-19 vaccines were added to the state’s immunization registry. Of that total, 12,781 doses of the vaccine were administered on Saturday.
Based on the updated totals, OHA is meeting Governor Kate Brown’s goal of ensuring 12,000 vaccinations per day. The governor demanded that the benchmark be reached by the end of the two-week period that started on January 4. On Sunday, we exceeded 200,000 doses of the COVID vaccine administered to Oregon residents.
Cumulative daily totals can take several days to complete because providers have 72 hours to report administered doses and technical challenges have caused many providers to delay reporting. OHA has provided technical support to vaccination sites to improve the opportunity for their data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS).
Oregon has administered a cumulative total of 204,974 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. All vaccinations were administered by Oregon hospitals, long-term care facilities, emergency medical service agencies (EMS), urgent care facilities and Local Public Health Authorities (LPHAs).
To date, 335,075 doses of the vaccine have been delivered to locations across Oregon.
These data are preliminary and are subject to change. OHA panels provide regularly updated vaccination data and the Oregon panel was updated on Sunday.
COVID-19 Hospitalizations
The number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Oregon is 361, four fewer than on Saturday. There are 95 patients with COVID-19 in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, that is, three more than on Saturday.
The total number of patients in hospital beds can fluctuate between reporting times. The figures do not reflect hospitalizations per day, nor the length of stay. Personnel limitations are not captured in this data and can further limit the capacity of beds.
