Update Vaccine Information and Clinics

 

coos vax updatesCoos County continues to administer vaccines to anyone age 12 and over. 12 to 17 year olds can receive the Pfizer vaccine. Adults ages 18 + may choose from Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson and Johnson vaccines. We have attached a list of vaccine sites and links to schedule an appointment.                                                                                                                                    Just a few days left to ‘Take Your Shot’ at winning up to $1 million in the state’s COVID-19 Vaccine Lottery! While most vaccinated Oregonians are entered automatically in the June 28 drawing, veterans and others who received their shots through the Federal VA Health Care System, on Tribal lands or out-of-state need to take an additional step to enter.

We've heard some of you asking how often COVID-19 breakthrough cases occur, particularly with COVID-19 variants on the rise. We know the increase in variants is concerning, and it's natural to wonder if we're seeing a change in how effective vaccines are against them.

 

The good news is that authorized COVID-19 vaccines work exceptionally well to prevent infection from all currently identified variants. By June 11, 70 breakthrough cases had been associated with variants of concern and 11 with a single variant of interest. These numbers remain small when compared to the more than 1.85 million who had completed their COVID-19 vaccination series in Oregon by that date. For more information on breakthrough cases in

Data captured between March 1 and May 31 of this year shows that 98% of COVID-19 cases and 94% of COVID-19 associated deaths were among people who are not fully vaccinated.
