Vaccines are the strongest tool we have to defeat COVID-19 and return to a sense of normalcy in Oregon. Yesterday, I announced our goal of 70% of Oregonians vaccinated in order to more fully reopen our economy.

I know parents have questions about the Pfizer vaccine for 12-15 year-olds, and I encourage you to talk to your health providers and pharmacists and get your questions answered. I look forward to hearing from the CDC & our Western States experts on recommendations for next steps. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

We still have work to do to reach our 70% goal, but I am confident we can get there in June and return to a sense of normalcy if we all do our part. If you have already been vaccinated, please help a friend, family member, or neighbor make an appointment. https://t.co/trWQiuJ1lZ — PolitiTweet.org

Hood River County has mobilized 600+ local volunteers to assist with their vaccination efforts, maintained accessible, timely vaccine info through an English & Spanish call center, and ensured accessibility to open appointments by coordinating times & dates for community clinics. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

In @WashcoOregon, strong partnerships with community based organizations have brought 27 vaccine clinics to local churches, senior centers, the Muslim Educational Trust, and near manufacturing and packing work sites. They have delivered 11,000+ doses to communities of color. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

I’d like to acknowledge two counties in particular who have done exceptional work to help close their vaccine equity gaps. I am really proud of these efforts — and I want all our counties to know that these goals I’ve set are attainable with hard work. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

We are also setting local targets for counties. If a county reaches 65% of their 16+ population with a first dose and submits a plan to @OHAOregon for how they’ll close the vaccine equity gap, they have the option to move into the Lower Risk category starting 5/21. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Common sense safety measures, like wearing masks and physical distancing will remain in effect, in line with CDC guidance. We will continue to evaluate CDC’s recommendations on these measures and align them with Oregon’s needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Once we cross that statewide goal, we will more fully open our economy. That means no more county risk levels, and a lifting of most restrictions — including capacity limits for venues and businesses, and limits on group sizes. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Today I’m setting a specific statewide target to more fully reopen Oregon’s economy. Seventy percent. That’s the number of Oregonians age 16 and older that we need to reach with a first dose. I’m confident we can get there in June. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Right now, we're averaging 34,000 vaccinations per day, and this week, we will celebrate that 2 million Oregonians have received a first dose — more than half our adult population. I am incredibly pleased that we’ve made this progress. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Thanks to Oregonians, it looks like we’ve crossed the tipping point of the 4th surge. Our hospitalization rates have stabilized. Our infection rates are on a downward trajectory. And in the race between vaccines & variants, our efforts to vaccinate Oregonians are taking the lead. — PolitiTweet.org

My siblings and I were lucky to be raised by such a loving, caring mother. She guided us and taught us to always believe in ourselves. This #MothersDay, I'm thinking of my wonderful mom, Sally, and all of the other mothers out there. Enjoy your special day! https://t.co/6kVdHf2CLN — PolitiTweet.org

Broadband is a necessity, not a luxury. The internet is the platform on which the world works, and broadband is the universal common denominator. People in qualifying households—including OHP & SNAP beneficiaries—can sign up for a monthly $50 @FCC benefit: https://t.co/c5wFWHCtKL https://t.co/OOZCV7KwKa — PolitiTweet.org

It is because so many Oregonians continue to get vaccinated, wear masks, and follow health and safety measures that we are able to lift Extreme Risk restrictions today, and that so many Oregonians will be able to hug mom again this Sunday. Thank you. https://t.co/N71xf34mP7 — PolitiTweet.org

Nurses are the backbone of our health care system. This #NationalNursesDay, I'm proud that Oregon is considered one of the best states for nurses. https://t.co/9G4ixB3VRc — PolitiTweet.org
