17 Jun Oregon reopening and the importance of getting vaccinated

Recently Governor Kate Brown announced that once 70% of Oregonians are vaccinated, the state will remove distancing rules, capacity limits and mask requirements in many situations. Right now, we are at 67.7%.

Perhaps because of this, it is more important than ever to get vaccinated.

According to data from the OHA, 98% of COVID-19 cases and COVID-19-related deaths in May 2021 occurred in people who were unvaccinated or had not completed their vaccination.

The best way to be safe and protect yourself and your family as the state opens up this summer is to get vaccinated.
