County just more than half-vaxxed
Four schools in Yamhill County are reporting COVID-19 cases among their students, while slightly more than half the county’s COVID-19 vaccine-eligible population has now been vaccinated, county Health and Human Services Director Lindsey Manfrin told elected officials this week.
Manfrin and Jody Christensen, the coordinator for the state Regional Solutions task force, spoke to a weekly roundtable of elected officials by Zoom on Tuesday, to explain more about the announcement this week by Governor Kate Brown that most state restrictions will be lifted once 70% of the population 16 and older has been at least partially vaccinated.
