Information from Friday’s OHA COVID-19 media briefing, June 7

Friday afternoon, Governor Kate Brown, OHA Director Patrick Allen and Dr. Dean Sidelinger provided an update on Oregon’s ongoing COVID-19 response. Close to six months into Oregon’s COVID-19 vaccination drive and almost six weeks since vaccine eligibility was expanded to all adults, a stark picture has emerged. There are two pandemics in Oregon: one is coming to an end among people who are vaccinated. The other is a pandemic raging as fiercely as ever among people who are unvaccinated.
