PORTLAND, Oregon. (KTVZ) – There are three new COVID-19-related deaths in Oregon, increasing the death toll in the state to 2,322, the Oregon Health Authority said on Saturday.
The OHA also reported 365 new confirmed and presumed cases of COVID-19 at 00:01 on Saturday, bringing the state total to 159,392.
Vaccinations in Oregon
The OHA reported that 32,429 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added on Saturday to the state’s immunization registry. Of that total, 18,556 doses were administered on Friday and 13,873 in the previous days, but entered the vaccine register on Friday.
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 1,301,968 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 1,575,705 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 Saturday.
COVID-19 Hospitalizations
The number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 across Oregon is 104, which is 19 less than on Friday. There are 23 patients with COVID-19 in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which have not changed since Friday.
The total number of patients in hospital beds may 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.
