Deschutes County Health Officials Temporarily Halt First Covid Vaccine Registrations

Covid vaccine registrations for the first of the two vaccinations have been temporarily halted in Deschutes County.  Deschutes County Health Officials say the county won’t be getting the anticipated doses of the Covid vaccine this week because they found out on Friday that some of the shipments originally headed to the county are now being diverted to Portland for thousands of health care workers awaiting shots there.  Anyone who’s already registered for their second vaccine will be getting that.  County health officials say they’ll resume scheduling for the initial dose of the vaccine when additional doses come in.  They say they find out about what’s to come at the end of each week for the week ahead.
