2A | WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 2021 | SIUSLAW NEWS On The Record OREGON CROSSES 70% TARGET OF VACCINATED ADULTS Oregon reached another vac- cination milestone on July 2: 70% of adults 18 years and older received at least one vaccination in advance of the July 4 holiday weekend. Oregon’s number is based on data reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and data in Oregon’s ALERT IIS system, which has not yet been uploaded to the CDC website. According to the CDC, 2,343,617 adult Oregonians had received at least one dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or a shot of the single-dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine, as of Friday. That total leaves Oregon 2,206 adult first doses short of 70%. However, Oregon has received re- ports of an additional 2,900 back- logged doses delivered by phar- macies in Oregon that are not yet reported to CDC. In addition, Oregon reported 1,478 first dos- es administered yesterday to the CDC earlier today, which have not yet been added to the federal total (a portion of these doses will not count toward Oregon’s adult vaccination target because they were administered to children 12- 17 years old). The combination of these additional doses mean Or- egon has reached its 70% adult vaccination target. “The 70% adult vaccination goal means we have a better chance to sustain a safe reopening. The safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines continue to drive down new cases, hospitalizations and deaths in our state. Thank you to everyone who’s been vaccinated and everyone who helped admin- ister these life-saving vaccines,” said Patrick Allen, Director of the Oregon Health Authority. “But COVID-19 hasn’t gone away. It’s our goal to vaccinate eight in 10 people across Oregon, particu- larly adults in communities of color and other under-vaccinated groups.” Oregon’s latest vaccine effec- tiveness data show that more than nine in 10 recent cases, hospital- izations and deaths in Oregon were among people who were unvaccinated or not fully vacci- nated. Oregon now stands 18th in the nation in the percentage of the to- tal population that has been vac- cinated. The state reached the 70% adult vaccination goal through the efforts of more than 660 vac- cination sites, which were op- erated by a wide range of health care providers, Tribal partners, Local Public Health Authorities, community based organizations, pharmacies, volunteers, the Or- egon National Guard, retired healthcare workers and countless others — all working together to beat back the pandemic. With adult vaccination rate now more than 70% and the lift- ing of statewide protections, the state will continue to support vac- cination efforts in communities across Oregon. However, local health authorities will be respon- sible for managing outbreaks of COVID-19 at the local level. Statewide coordination efforts will continue at OHA, including case investigation and contact tracing support, epidemiologi- cal investigations, monitoring of variants and collecting and re- porting data. Oregon is now able to move from the statewide re- sponse model to one being driven at the local level, in each commu- nity and based on local risks.

The board is further required to form an Independent Redistrict- ing Committee (IRC) and prepare at least two but not more than four proposed redistricting plans in ordi- nance form for adoption by the Lane County Board of Commissioners, as required by the Lane County Home Rule Charter.

This process is called redis- tricting and the Lane County Home Rule Charter requires that it be done not less than every 10 years. The bound- aries were last drawn on Oct. 26, 2011. The Lane Charter also requires that the new com- missioner boundary lines be adopted in the form of an ordinance by the Lane County Board of Commis- sioners. Individuals selected will be contributing in the formation of these boundary options.

The county is currently focusing on collecting feed- back from stakeholders on a high-level, draft climate ac- tion plan framework, which outlines strategies for emis- sions reductions that may be included in the final CAP. This draft framework is based on technical analy- sis, best practices from oth- er communities, and resi- dents’ priorities identified in the initial survey. Using the feedback from the public engagement pe- riod, best practices, and the results of technical analysis, Lane County will present a Climate Action Plan that is responsive to the needs and goals of the Lane County community.
