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.” ý Reporter: 541-633-2117, sroig@bendbulletin.com Get a free ride to your COVID-19 vaccination Oregon residents aged 75 and older are currently eligible for COVID-19 vaccination.
