Quick Read
(KOIN) — Although the number of COVID-19 cases in Oregon have been dropping, residents should still work on getting the new bivalent boosters, officials with the Oregon Health Authority said on Wednesday during a press event that also focused on the state’s current outlook on monkeypox.
In September, Oregon has reportedly seen a 44% drop in COVID-19 cases.
Washington County has a list of other vaccine locations including the Beaverton Resource Center, Neighborhood Health Center and Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center.
OHA also reported that the new COVID-19 bivalent boosters have shown great results in studies, protecting people from the newest variants of COVID-19.
Tektronix is one the Washington County locations offering a walk-in clinic, operated by OHA.
The monkeypox vaccine is still limited but more is becoming available.
However, some local pharmacies are allowing people to schedule monkeypox vaccine appointments starting next week.
