Eligible for the vaccine? Hospital group says don't hold your breath A state hospital association issued a statement Friday sharing doubts about Gov. Kate Brown’s latest COVID-19 vaccine plan. Posted: Jan 22, 2021 2:43 PM Posted By: Chelsea Hunt LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. – The Oregon Association of Hospitals & Health Systems issued a statement Friday sharing doubts about Gov. Kate Brown’s latest COVID-19 vaccine plan. CEO Becky Hultberg said they are concerned the supply of doses will not be able to meet the demand for the vaccine in all areas when eligibility opens to educators and older Oregonians. “Since the state does not control the vaccine supply, Oregonians are being asked to take it on faith that the state can keep to the governor’s timeline,” Hultberg said.
