(Update: weekly report shows increase in cases, hospitalizations, fewer deaths)
PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) – There are six new COVID-19-related deaths in Oregon, bringing the state’s death toll to 2,849, the Oregon Health Authority reported on Wednesday.
The OHA also reported 804 new confirmed and suspected COVID-19 cases as of 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, bringing the state total to 217,690.
Vaccinations in Oregon
The OHA reported Wednesday that 5,499 new doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been added to the national immunization registry. Of this total, 2,981 doses were administered on Tuesday and 2,518 were administered the previous days but were recorded in the vaccine registry on Tuesday.
The seven-day moving average is now 4,610 doses per day.
Oregon has now administered 2,647,798 first and second doses of Pfizer, 1,780,671 first and second doses of Moderna, and 179,885 single doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines.
As of Wednesday, 2,477,608 people had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 2,302,395 people had completed a series of COVID-19 vaccines.
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 data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS).
To date, 3,010,095 doses of Pfizer, 2,288,400 doses of Moderna and 299,100 doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine have been delivered to sites across Oregon.
These data are preliminary and subject to change.
Updated immunization data is provided on Oregon’s COVID-19 Data Dashboards and was updated on Wednesday.
COVID-19 hospitalizations
The number of hospital patients with COVID-19 in Oregon is 274, up 15 from Tuesday. There are 86 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, nine more than Tuesday.
The total number of patients in hospital beds can fluctuate from time to time. Figures do not reflect admissions per day or length of hospital stay. Staff limitations are not captured in this data and may further limit bed capacity.
