A4 THE BULLETIN • SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 2021
Vaccine
Continued from A1
And health care providers
administering the vaccine want
to make sure no vaccines go
to waste, which has resulted in
some Central Oregonians be-
ing vaccinated ahead of sched-
ule.
Deschutes, Jefferson and
Crook counties are among the
18 counties to have their first
dose vaccine supplies limited
next week, and 13 counties will
have their supplies boosted to
bump up vaccination rates.
Deschutes County confirmed
on Friday that only sec-
ond-doses will be administered
after Saturday. No new vac-
cines are scheduled to arrive in
Deschutes County and no new
vaccines will be administered.
Only second doses will be ad-
ministered, said Morgan Emer-
son, Deschutes County Health
Services spokeswoman.
“We know counties are not
moving through their eligible
groups at a uniform rate and
some counties have vaccinated
more of their population than
others for a variety of reasons,”
Allen said.
To date the state has vacci-
nated 6.8% of the population,
Allen said. At the current rate
of vaccinations, it will take the
state 14 weeks to vaccinate 1.2
million people, he said.
Hospitals and medical
groups in Central Oregon say
they’re not wasting a drop
of the vaccine. At St. Charles
Health System, if there’s extra
from the vaccine clinic at the
Deschutes County Fair & Expo
Center, it’s taken back to the
hospital in Bend and given to
a patient, said Lisa Goodman,
hospital spokeswoman.
At High Lakes Health Care,
if there are additional doses,
the clinic will contact other
medical professionals new to
town needing a second dose,
said Dr. Jessica Morgan, High
Since the opening of the vaccine clinic at the Deschutes
County Fair & Expo Center on Jan. 20, 7,966 people have
been vaccinated, according to the county’s data collected on
Thursday. Of those, 7,816 were residents of Central Oregon.
Lakes medical director.
“If push came to shove, I
would never waste a dose,”
said Morgan in an email.
“I would reach out to a pa-
tient in 1B group (age 75 and
older) and schedule them. But
this would be very rare and, at
this point, 1 or 2 (doses).”
Recently a Bend resident,
who didn’t want his name
used, said he heard from a
neighbor that 40 doses of
Moderna vaccine needed to
be dispersed before they went
bad. He and several neigh-
bors all went on a Saturday in
January to get the first dose
of the vaccine, well before the
governor issued permission
for the county to give the vac-
cine to those 75 and older.
Others got the vaccine
when they accompanied their
elderly parents.
During a recent snowstorm
that stalled traffic on Inter-
state 5, a medical professional
had six doses that would ex-
pire before reaching his desti-
nation and issued them to folks
also stuck on the freeway, ac-
cording to media reports.
If people arrive at the vac-
cine clinic without an appoint-
ment, the county will not vac-
cinate them, said Emerson,
of Deschutes County Health
Services . Appointments are
required.
“We’ve heard rumors of
things like an end-of-day list,
but the only way to be vacci-
nated is by scheduling an ap-
pointment,” Emerson said.
Only those who are eligible
according to the governor’s
phased approach are eligible.
People must attest that they
are in a qualifying group,
meaning Phase 1A and Phase
1B, groups 1-3, Emerson
said. People who are eligible
through their employer are
asked to bring proof of em-
ployment. People who are el-
igible based on their age are
asked to bring proof of age,
she said.
To help assure access to the
vaccine for eligible Central
Oregonians, county health
officials created the vaccine
interest online form to notify
residents when they are eligi-
ble to schedule their vaccine
appointment.
Since the opening of the
vaccine clinic at the De-
schutes County Fair & Expo
Center on Jan. 20, 7,966 peo-
ple have been vaccinated, ac-
cording to the county’s data
collected on Thursday. Of
those, 7,816 were residents of
Central Oregon.
“This is in line with what
we would expect as we may
have some people who re-
cently moved to the area, split
time between Central Oregon
and another Oregon region,”
Emerson said. “(The) St.
Charles Health System serves
a regional population that can
extend beyond Crook, De-
schutes and Jefferson coun-
ties.”
Yost said she has contacted
her primary care physician
several times, each time telling
her she was not eligible.
“I’ve heard from friends
who called their physician a lot
and get one,” Yost said. “Some
called the same clinic multiple
times and got the vaccine. But
that’s in California.”
