PORTLAND, Ore. — Three days after the FDA approved a second vaccine, shipments of the newest weapon against the coronavirus arrived in Oregon.
At Pacific Communities Hospital in Newport, the hospital received 700 doses, far fewer than the 3,200 than CEO Dr. Lesley Ogden says she was expecting for use at three of Samaritan Health Services' hospitals.
"So we're just not sure why we're getting what we're getting and when we're getting it." Dr. Ogden said, "It's a lovely problem to have, because we're happy to get a shipment of vaccines."
