The Oregon Health Authority reported 908 new confirmed or presumptive coronavirus cases in the state and seven more deaths.
The official coronavirus death toll in Oregon now stands at 1,422, one of the lowest state totals in the country.
Nearly 1,200 Oregonians received COVID-19 vaccinations on Christmas Eve, as the rollout of the vaccine to health-care workers and long-term care homes continues. 17,130 people in the state have received their first vaccine shot so far.
It’s expected to be well into spring or summer before everyone in Oregon can receive a coronavirus vaccine. About 3 million Oregonians will need to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19, which has killed nearly 2 million people worldwide.
