The recommended priority groups would join teachers and those over 65 once vaccine supply is sufficient. Author: Galen Ettlin Updated: 5:47 PM PST January 14, 2021
SALEM, Ore The Oregon COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Committee has a new recommended list of priority groups for the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to review.
The 27-member committee met for the fourth time in nine days Thursday, focused on vaccine equity. The goal is to help OHA prioritize the next groups in line for the COVID-19 vaccine after teachers and people over 65.
A big focus of the discussion was BIPOC Black, indigenous, people of color. Many minority communities have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, experiencing more cases and deaths per capita.
Panel recommends steps by Oregon lawmakers to rein in rising health care costs
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) A committee led by policy experts, citizens and stakeholders took steps Tuesday that they say will help put Oregon on a path to keep health care costs in check.

The Committee envisions a process to ensure that health care costs are contained in the public and private sector with accountability mechanisms for health care entities. Oregon is only the second state in the nation to pass health care cost growth target legislation and the fourth to adopt such a program.
