Lane County Gov- ernment announced its readiness for this time- line as it prepares for increased vaccine allo- cations in the coming week. On social media, staff posted, “Federal allocations bring May vaccinations.” Lane county also in- dicated the state is on track with current eli- gibility timelines based on current allocations. Additionally, the timelines for eligible groups may advance once Oregon receives enough increased doses from the federal gov- ernment. As of press time Tues- day, 1.53 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been adminis- tered in Oregon, with 570,304 fully vaccinat- ed. To sign up for vac- cines in Lane County, people can go to www. lanecounty.org/corona- virus. The county also of- fered Oregon Health Authority guidance for people who have already gotten the vac- cine — both doses of Pfizer or Moderna vac- cines, or the single-dose Johnson & Johnson — and waited the appro- priate time. “You should still take steps to protect yourself and others in many sit- uations, like wearing a mask, staying at least 6 feet apart from others, and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces,” stated a staff report. People should also continue to avoid me- dium or large-sized gatherings and travel. Oregon Health Au- thority’s COVID-19 website is healthoregon .org/coronavirus. (541) 579-0454 • Call Today!
