Vaccinations in Oregon, Aug. 18

Tuesday, OHA reported that 6,439 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 2,144 were initial doses and 1,056 were second doses administered on Aug. 16. The remaining 3,075 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on Aug. 16. Oregon has now administered 2,727,893 first and second doses of Pfizer, 1,812,233 first and second doses of Moderna and 190,254 single doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines. As of Tuesday, 2,557,489 people have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 2,354,372 people have completed a COVID-19 vaccine series. Cumulative daily totals can take several days to finalize because providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and technical challenges have caused lags in providers reporting updated information. OHA has been providing technical support to vaccination sites to improve the timeliness of their data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS). These data are preliminary and subject to change. Updated vaccination data are provided on Oregon’s COVID-19 data dashboards and have been updated Tuesday.
