PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- There are six new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, including Jefferson County's 33rd, raising the state’s death toll to 2,508, the Oregon Health Authority reported Tuesday.
OHA also reported 748 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, bringing the state total to 187,611.
Vaccinations in Oregon
OHA reported Tuesday that 28,336 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 19,574 doses were administered on Monday and 8,762 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on Monday.
The seven-day running average is now 32,503 doses per day.
Oregon has now administered a total of 1,668,141 first and second doses of Pfizer, 1,324,331 first and second doses of Moderna and 98,485 single doses of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines. As of Tuesday, 1,314,226 people have completed a COVID-19 vaccine series. There are 1,870,643 who have had at least one dose.
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, 2,024,685 doses of Pfizer, 1,667,200 doses of Moderna and 240,100 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 today.

The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 345, which is six fewer than Monday. There are 79 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is one fewer than Monday.
