EDITOR’S NOTE: Tillamook County case counts are heading in the wrong direction with 5 more today – that puts the county at 26 cases from Sun. 3/7 to today Sat. 3/13. And another seven days of data, it appears that moving back to lower risk is unlikely and if we have 20 cases the next seven days, we’ll be moving to “HIGH” risk. Even with more community members receiving the vaccine, we must continue to adhere to the recommendations: Wear your mask, watch your distance and wash your hands. Stay home if you’re sick – come on, Tillamook County, we are the cusp of Spring Break and visitors, so please be diligent. Stay safe and keep your community safe. When your turn comes for the vaccine, please get vaccinated. Do it for your community.
PORTLAND, Ore. — There are three new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 2,322 the Oregon Health Authority reported at 12:01 a.m. today.

Vaccinations in Oregon
Today, OHA reported that 32,429 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 18,556 doses were administered on March 12 and 13,873 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on March 12.
Cumulative daily totals can take several days to finalize because providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and technical challenges have caused many providers to lag in their reporting. OHA has been providing technical support to vaccination sites to improve the timeliness of their data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS).
Oregon has now administered a cumulative total of 1,301,968 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 1,575,705 doses of vaccine have been delivered to sites across Oregon.
These data are preliminary and subject to change. OHA’s dashboards provide regularly updated vaccination data, and Oregon’s dashboard has been updated today.
COVID-19 hospitalizations
The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 104, which is 19 fewer than yesterday. There are 23 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which did not change from yesterday.
The total number of patients in hospital beds may fluctuate between report times. The numbers do not reflect admissions per day, nor the length of hospital stay. Staffing limitations are not captured in this data and may further limit bed capacity.
