65% of residents 16 and older have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine
Eugene, OR – According to the statement, now the county is eligible to enter lower risk, with no chance of moving back up.
Gov. Brown announced the new risk level changes on Tuesday, which include Coos County also moving down to lower risk on Wednesday due to lower case counts.

Since December 384,000 doses have been given out in Lane County.
