This is the week that supply surged past the backlog of demand for COVID-19 vaccines in Portland.
The metro area had seen the highest vaccine demand in the state. Now Portland, like much of Oregon, is seeing a lot of doses remaining available, so many that the wait for a shot has completely evaporated. Appointments are no longer required.
Walk-ins for vaccinations are now welcome at the Oregon Convention Center, the largest vaccination site in the state, as well as the Portland International Airport drive-thru site, run by Oregon Health & Science University.
And there are walk-in appointments now at least at some drugstores, including Walmart.
Nationally, a slackening in demand for COVID-19 vaccinations has resulted in multiple states no longer asking the federal government for their full allotment of doses, the Associated Press reported.
Oregon has seen a 20% dropoff in the seven-day running average for doses administered from a month ago, but doses administered over the first five days of May remained relatively flat. And unlike in other states, Gov. Kate Brown has ordered more vaccine doses from the federal government.
But officials expect the most recent days will reflect a decline in doses administered, at least in Portland, where demand had previously far outpaced supply.
In yet another sign that vaccine doses are plentiful, Multnomah County is advertising its vaccine clinics that generally target underserved populations (details below). Previously, the county had relied on community partners to reach targeted populations. The details are below.
