PORTLAND, Oregon (KTVZ) – There are six new COVID-19-related deaths in Oregon, bringing the state’s death toll to 1930, the Oregon Health Authority reported Thursday.
The OHA also reported 750 new confirmed and suspected COVID-19 cases as of 12:01 am Thursday morning, bringing the state total to 140,783.
Vaccinations in Oregon
On Thursday, the OHA reported that 19,010 new doses of COVID-19 vaccine had been added to the state’s immunization registry. Of this total, 12,292 doses were administered on Wednesday and 6,718 were administered the previous days, but were entered in the vaccine registry on Wednesday.
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 359,370 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 606,725 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 Saint-Charles health system reported a total of 15,782 vaccinations given as of early Thursday.
COVID-19 hospitalizations
The number of hospital patients with COVID-19 in Oregon is 291, 11 fewer than Wednesday. There are 72 COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit (ICU beds), two 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.
St. Charles Bend reported 19 COVID-19 patients at 4 a.m. Thursday, one of whom was in the ICU and on a ventilator.
