PORTLAND, Oregon. (KTVZ) – There are eight new COVID-19-related deaths in Oregon, increasing the death toll in the state to 2,162, the Oregon Health Authority reported on Tuesday.
The OHA also reported 528 new confirmed and presumed cases of COVID-19 at 0:01 AM on Tuesday, bringing the state total to 153,645.
Vaccinations in Oregon
OHA reported on Tuesday that 14,917 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations have been added to the state’s immunization registry. Of that total, 9,235 doses were administered on Monday and 5,682 on previous days, but entered the vaccine register on Monday.
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 836,075 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 1,092,385 doses of the vaccine have been delivered to locations across Oregon.
St. Charles Health System reported 23,329 COVID-19 vaccinations given on Tuesday.
These data are preliminary and are subject to change. OHA panels provide regularly updated vaccination data, and the Oregon panel was updated on Tuesday.
COVID-19 Hospitalizations
The number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 across Oregon is 165, two less than on Monday. There are 44 patients with COVID-19 in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, three fewer than on Monday.
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 17 patients with COVID-19 at 4 am Tuesday, one in the ICU on a ventilator.
