THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR:

The Oregon Health Authority mistakenly offered about 11,000 vaccination appointments to people ineligible until April 19. The agency plans to honor appointments made because of the error. And Oregon Secretary of State’s audit division released a report this week detailing the state’s COVID-19 response in long-term care facilities. OPB health reporter Amelia Templeton gives us the details.
