According to Jackson County, the local vaccination rate is below the state average of 56.6 percent, with 45.9 percent of Jackson County residents 16 and older having received at least one dose. Public health officials are working on a plan for submission to the Oregon Health Authority regarding how Jackson County plans to close the equity gap in vaccination efforts.
“Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the best option we have to fight this pandemic, save lives, reduce hospitalizations from COVID-19, reopen our economy and get back to the people and things we love,” said Dr. Jim Shames, Jackson County Health Officer. “These vaccines are safe and effective. You may have some side effects, but these are normal signs that your body is building protection, and they will go away within a few days. Some people have no side effects.”
