Eugene, OR – According to the health officials, 53% are fully vaccinated.

Multnomah County has been working with community organizations and faith leaders who have more direct access and trust with these communities.

The Oregon Convention Center mass vaccination site now offers the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which could increase the odds of reaching people.

Both Washington and Clackamas County numbers show about 35% of 12-15 year olds have been vaccinated. That number is above 40% in Multnomah County.

Benton County has Oregon’s highest vaccination rate, at 69% of its 16+ population and 63% fully vaccinated. Even as it nears the 70% herd immunity threshold, a county spokesperson told KGW last month, work aims to go beyond that mark.

Other counties are struggling to reach even half their populations.
