(Update: Added weekly report: decrease in cases, increase in deaths)
Top 253K Vaccinations Statewide
PORTLAND, Oregon (KTVZ) – There are 11 new COVID-19-related deaths in Oregon, bringing the state’s death toll to 1,843, the Oregon Health Authority reported Thursday.
The OHA also reported 849 new confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 am Thursday morning, bringing the state total to 135,973.
Vaccinations in Oregon
On Thursday, the OHA reported that 14,951 new doses of COVID-19 vaccine had been added to the state’s immunization registry. Of this total, 8,699 doses of vaccine were administered Wednesday and 6,252 were administered the previous days, but were entered in the vaccine registry Wednesday.
It may take several days for the cumulative daily totals to be finalized as providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and technical issues have caused many providers to be late in reporting. The OHA provided technical support to vaccination sites to improve the timeliness of their data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS).
Oregon has now administered a cumulative total of 253,711 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. All vaccinations were administered by hospitals in Oregon, long-term care facilities, emergency medical services (EMS) agencies, emergency care facilities, and local public health authorities (LPHA ).
To date, 479,325 doses of the vaccine have been delivered to sites across Oregon.
These data are preliminary and subject to change. The OHA dashboards provide regularly updated immunization data and the Oregon dashboard was updated on Thursday.
The St. Charles Health System reported that 8,058 COVID-19 vaccinations had been administered early Thursday.
COVID-19 hospitalizations
The number of hospital patients with COVID-19 in Oregon is 329, down seven from Wednesday. There are 87 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, three fewer than Wednesday.
The total number of patients in hospital beds may fluctuate between reporting times. Figures do not reflect admissions per day or length of hospital stay. Staff limitations are not taken into account in this data and may further limit bed capacity.

Weekly decline in COVID-19 cases, increase in deaths
The OHA’s COVID-19 Weekly Report was released on Thursday and showed a slight drop in daily cases and a steep drop in positive tests.
The OHA reported 7,860 new cases daily during the week of Monday January 11 through Sunday January 17, a decrease of 4% from the previous week.
There were 332 people hospitalized for COVID-19.
COVID-19-related deaths climbed to 195, the highest weekly toll to date, following a previous pandemic the week before.
There were 129,723 tests for COVID-19 for the week of January 10 to January 16. The percentage of positive tests fell to 5.9%.
People aged 20 to 49 accounted for 54% of COVID-19 cases, while people 70 and older accounted for 77% of deaths associated with the virus.
Friday’s COVID-19 outbreak report shows 208 active COVID-19 outbreaks in elderly communities and collective living spaces, with three or more confirmed cases and one or more COVID-19-related deaths.
Pediatric report published
On Thursday, the OHA released a report analyzing case data of pediatric COVID-19 cases in Oregon since the start of the pandemic.
As of January 5, there had been 119,488 confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 in Oregon. Pediatric patients – defined as people under the age of 18 – accounted for 13,328, or 11.2%, of the total cases. There had been seven cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).
There was a dramatic increase in daily pediatric cases of COVID-19 in late October and mid-November, with cases leveling off somewhat by the end of 2020.
The report says that while the number of pediatric cases has increased, pediatric patients remain much less likely than adults to develop severe cases of COVID-19.
Only 0.9% of pediatric patients have been hospitalized at some point during their COVID-19 illness. Comparatively, 6.2% of adults with COVID-19 were hospitalized.
