The first COVID-19 vaccine shipments arrived in Oregon this week. One of the locations that will get a shipment is Marquis Companies, which oversees Consonus Healthcare and a number of senior long-term care facilities. Marquis Companies will be the first to distribute the vaccines to long-term care facilities in Oregon. We talk with CEO Phil Fogg about the vaccine rollout and the challenges it presents.
