80% of people in Oregon’s prison system are opting to get the coronavirus vaccine

Eugene, OR – According to the statement, the Oregon Department of Corrections vaccinated about 5,000 inmates before last week’s snowstorm.
Oregon prisons have consistently been sites of the state’s largest coronavirus outbreaks. More than 40 inmates have died.
To get people educated and curb distrust, the Oregon Department of Corrections officials say they are using education.
Those who opt out meet with health providers to explain their hesitancy. ODOC provides pamphlets and videos to ease fears.
Most who want the vaccine will have their first dose by the end of next week.
