Oregon reports 2 more COVID-19 related deaths, 426 new cases
PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- There are two new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 2,375, the Oregon Health Authority reported Saturday.
Oregon Health Authority reported 426 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Saturday, bringing the state total to 163,702 cases.
Vaccinations in Oregon
OHA reported that 34,508 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added Saturday to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 20,559 doses were administered on Friday and 13,949 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on Friday.
Oregon has now administered a total of 842,861 first and second doses of Pfizer, 807,928 first and second doses of Moderna and 37,937 single doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines.
Cumulative daily totals can take several days to finalize because providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and technical challenges have caused many providers to lag in their reporting. OHA has been providing technical support to vaccination sites to improve the timeliness of their data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS).
To date, 1,043,055 doses of Pfizer, 1,003,700 doses of Moderna and 61,200 doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines have been delivered to sites across Oregon.
These data are preliminary and subject to change. OHA's dashboards provide regularly updated vaccination data, and Oregon’s dashboard has been updated Saturday.
COVID-19 hospitalizations
The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 118, which is 10 more than Friday. There are 22 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is four more than Friday.
The total number of patients in hospital beds may fluctuate between report times. The numbers do not reflect admissions per day, nor the length of hospital stay. Staffing limitations are not captured in this data and may further limit bed capacity.
