PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) – There are 24 new COVID-19-related deaths in Oregon, bringing the state’s death toll to 1,832, the Oregon Health Authority reported on Wednesday.
OHA also reported 704 new confirmed and suspected COVID-19 cases as of midnight 01 Wednesday, bringing the state total to 135,142.
Vaccinations in Oregon
The OHA reported on Wednesday that 13,694 new doses of COVID-19 vaccine had been added to the state’s immunization registry. Of this total, 8,570 doses of vaccine were administered on Tuesday and 5,124 were administered the previous days, but were entered in the vaccine registry on Tuesday.
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 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 238,760 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. All vaccinations were administered by hospitals in Oregon, long-term care facilities, emergency medical service agencies (EMS), emergency care facilities, and local public health authorities (LPHA ).
To date, 436,250 doses of the vaccine have been delivered to sites across Oregon.
These data are preliminary and subject to change.
The St. Charles Health System reports giving 7,755 Pfizer-BioNTech vaccinations as of early Wednesday.
The OHA dashboards provide regularly updated immunization data and the Oregon dashboard was updated on Wednesday.
COVID-19 hospitalizations
The number of hospital patients with COVID-19 in Oregon is 336, eight more than Tuesday. There are 90 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, two fewer than Tuesday.
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.
