PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Vaccines have helped Oregon fight back against the pandemic, but they aren’t perfect. Breakthrough cases have always been expected, and the latest report from the Oregon Health Authority shows just how many people have been hit with the virus even while vaccinated.
Since vaccines began earlier this year, Oregon has seen 41,257 breakthrough cases. At first glance that seems like a lot, but digging deeper into the numbers shows just how successful the vaccines have been.
