The group on Tuesday recommended that people ages 65 and older and those of all ages with conditions that put them more at risk for COVID-19 should be included in the next round of vaccinations.

Oregonians ages 65+ can soon get vaccine January 12 2021
As state ties COVID-19 death record, Brown says seniors will get doses. Meanwhile, feds ship doses faster.
Gov. Kate Brown announced on Tuesday, Jan. 12, that the COVID-19 vaccine will be made available to all Oregonians age 65 and up, just as education and child-care workers will.
The change in eligibility, which takes effect Jan. 23, comes as health officials reported 54 more deaths associated with COVID-19 in Oregon, tying the state s previous single-day record.
However, that total includes deaths that occurred some time ago, but had not been reported due to holiday delays, officials said.
Brown s decision expanding the categories of people eligible for the vaccine to the elderly, education and childcare, was announced the same day that the federal government announced plans to distribute more doses of the vaccine faster, rather than keeping some in storage.
