To get an appointment, go to the county’s website, co. clatsop.or.us, and click on “COVID-19 vaccine survey.” The county will contact those who’ve taken the survey by email when a vaccine is avail- able. No internet? Call 503- 325-8500. The state revised its eligibili- ty schedule based on expected increased vaccines available from the federal government. About 58 percent of Orego- nians age 65 and older have been vaccinated. By May 1, the state expects to have enough vaccine available to provide shots to everyone 16 and older, Oregon Health Authority announced. The county is receiving small deliveries of the one-dose John- son & Johnson vaccine, but has reserved it for people with mobility challenges or other barriers to accessing vaccines through the regular clinics. “We urge people to take the first available vaccine, and not put off getting vaccinated in the hope of getting the John- son & Johnson vaccine,” said Margo Lalich, Clatsop County Public Health director.
