Associated Press have this brief vaccine story today, that Oregon health workers who got stuck in a snowstorm on their way back from a Covid-19 vaccination event went car to car injecting stranded drivers before several of the doses expired.
Josephine County Public Health said on Facebook that the “impromptu vaccine clinic” took place after about 20 employees were stopped in traffic on a highway after a vaccination clinic.
Rachana Pradhan and Fred Schulte of Kaiser Health News report for us this morning on concerns over gaps in the data collection around the vaccination program:
