“When heading to Memorial Day holiday weekend, this milestone is COVID-in Oregon, especially for those who have not yet been vaccinated, while the number of cases is declining across the state due to vaccination. It makes me realize that there are 19 risks left, “said OHA Director Patrick Allen. “Caution is given to Oregons who have not yet been vaccinated. You are still at risk of infection, so you need to wear a mask indoors and take precautions against physical distance. “

“When we try to eradicate the virus, our most effective tool to end the pandemic is vaccination,” OHA said in its daily update. “Fully vaccinated people are well protected, but the pandemic is not over yet.”

Benton County “counts all shots” at a teenage clinic

Hundreds of teens were vaccinated in a teen-focused vaccination event in Benton County last week. Approximately 500 people between the ages of 12 and 15 received shots with hundreds of teens rolling up their sleeves.

“Teenday” took place at the county’s mass vaccination site, Reser Stadium, and at a nearby high school pop-up clinic.

Participants can participate in the Chromebook, Airpods, and gift card lottery. The children were invited to write on a graffiti board and answered questions such as “What are you most looking forward to when you are fully vaccinated?” The answers included “returning to face-to-face class” rather than “wondering if it’s open” or “traveling”.

The county also worked with several organizations serving young people, including: Jackson Street Youth ServiceAccommodates teens who are experiencing homelessness, and Strengthening rural families..

Benton County is currently one of the highest immunization rates in Oregon. Uili Neville, Joint Information Center Manager in Benton County, said: “At this point, every shot is important.”
