Earlier this week, a judge ordered Oregon to offer inmates the COVID-19 vaccine. And for some who are already in line, confusion remains on how to sign up and where to get the vaccine. We talk with Patrick Allen, the director of the Oregon Health Authority, about how the rollout is going and what Oregonians should know about access to the vaccine and the state’s COVID-19 response.
