Nationally, as well as locally, the medical hot topic
is the availability (or should that be “un-availability”?) of
the influenza vaccine Now for the surprise Throughout
the state o f Oregon, Morrow County ranks as the third
lowest in terms o f unmet need This means only Gilliam
and Wasco counties have a lower percentage o f high-risk
residents that have not received this year’s flu vaccination.
According to Jennifer Jaca RN with M orrow
County Public Health, Morrow County will be able to
inoculate approximately 49 percent o f our residents
considered “at-risk,” while Oregon officials are estimating
only 20 percent of the state’s “at-risk” population will be
vaccinated using current supplies
How did this happen0 The main reason was source
o f the vaccine Morrow County Public Health and the
Morrow County Health District have chosen to order from
Aventis who had no problems with the distribution o f their
vaccine Morrow County received more than half of their
order o f vaccine, versus Umatilla County, which received
less than 10 percent; while Union and Wheeler counties
received no influenza vaccine at all
Due to this year’s scarcity o f the vaccine, Oregon
health officials have issued a strict mandate determining
who is eligible to receive these injections The vaccine is
supposed to go to only those who need it most, including
the very young, the elderly, those with chronic health
conditions and medical personnel who work directly with
patients.
“Compared to the rest of the State, Morrow County
is really in pretty good shape,” states Jaca “Morrow County
started with just under 1200 doses o f vaccine and we (Public
Health) project the county’s total need is about 3400 doses.”
M orrow C ounty Public Health (M CPH ) has
administered all the vaccine they received and is referring
people to M orrow County Health D istrict’s Pioneer
Memorial Clinic and Irrigon clinic for their inoculations
MCPH is requesting more doses o f flu vaccine from the
state. If additional doses become available the public will
be notified. Anyone with questions can call the Morrow
County Public Health office at (541) 676-5461
