Vaccinations decline, but weekly average exceeds 12,000 target
PORTLAND, Oregon (KTVZ) – COVID-19 has killed five more in Oregon, bringing the state’s death toll to 1,808, the Oregon Health Authority reported Tuesday.
The OHA also reported 637 new confirmed and suspected COVID-19 cases as of 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, bringing the state total to 134,468.
Vaccinations in Oregon
On Tuesday, the OHA reported that 8,141 new doses of COVID-19 vaccine had been added to the state’s immunization registry. Of this total, 5,511 doses of vaccine were administered on Monday and 2,630 were administered the previous days, but entered the vaccine registry on Monday.
It may take several days for the cumulative daily totals to be finalized because providers have 72 hours to report doses administered, and technical issues have caused many providers to delay reporting. The OHA provided technical support to vaccination sites to improve the timeliness of their data entry into the state’s ALERT vaccination information system.
Based on the data currently entered, the average daily number of vaccinations over the past seven days was 12,289 doses administered per day.
| Administration date | Total doses |
| Tuesday January 12 | 12 775 |
| Wednesday January 13 | 14 533 |
| Thursday January 14 | 13 836 |
| Friday January 15th | 14,759 |
| Saturday January 16 | 15,094 |
| Sunday January 17th | 9,513 |
| Monday January 18 | 5 511 |

These data are preliminary and subject to change. The OHA dashboards provide regularly updated immunization data and the Oregon dashboard was updated on Tuesday.
