Vaccine Delays

No new first-dose vaccine appointments will be scheduled in Deschutes County for this week. Health officials say shipping delays are the issue. Molly Wells-Darling with the Deschutes County Incident Management Team says they moved quickly to try and secure as many vaccine doses as they could on loan. She says Legacy Health System provided 1,700 doses but anyone who had an appointment yesterday (Sunday) will be rescheduled for Thursday. And, although people aged 70 and older are now eligible, officials say appointments will not re-open until more vaccine is available.
