PORTLAND, Oregon. (KTVZ) – There are six new COVID-19-related deaths in Oregon, increasing the number of deaths in the state to 1,930, the Oregon Health Authority reported on Thursday.
The OHA also reported 750 new confirmed and presumed cases of COVID-19 at 0:01 am on Thursday, bringing the state total to 140,783.
Vaccinations in Oregon
On Thursday, OHA reported that 19,010 new doses of COVID-19 vaccines were added to the state’s immunization registry. Of that total, 12,292 doses were administered on Wednesday and 6,718 on previous days, but entered the vaccine register on Wednesday.
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 timeliness of their data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS).
Oregon has administered a cumulative total of 359,370 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 606,725 doses of the vaccine have been delivered to locations in Oregon.
These data are preliminary and are subject to change. OHA panels provide regularly updated vaccination data, and the Oregon panel was updated on Thursday.
The St. Charles Health System reported a total of 15,782 vaccinations administered on Thursday.
COVID-19 Hospitalizations
The number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 across Oregon is 291, 11 less than on Wednesday. There are 72 patients with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU beds), two less than Wednesday.
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.
St. Charles Bend reported 19 patients with COVID-19 by 4 am on Thursday, one of whom was in the ICU and on a ventilator.
