Dear patients and friends,
We're writing today with quick update on the Covid vaccination. Following a week of confusing advice from a state and national level, Oregon has reorganized and better defined its phases. See information below for when you can expect to be eligible for a vaccine.
For those who are now eligible, we are also seeing progress on vaccination locations and signups (see sidebar, or below on a smartphone). To date, vaccines have mostly been available by invitation through hospitals and private events. This week, the Oregon Convention Center opened a Mass Vaccination Clinic. Kaiser Permanente initiated a soft roll out on Wednesday the 20th, and will soon be joined by Providence, Legacy, and Oregon Health & Science University in effort to get more vaccines distributed.
While we keep an eye out for additional events and information, we welcome your input. If you hear of a resource that we have not yet shared please reach out to us so we can spread the word.
I hope this update finds you well. Stay tuned for information as we learn more.
Sincerely, Dr. Biemer, Julia Jones and the whole office crew |
