Hi Jeanne,
Really appreciate the quick response.
Can you elaborate on the second question on wasted/spoiled/expired vaccine doses - is the Oregon Health Authority not keeping track of this information? Is vaccine waste documented by state agency?
Or is it because there have been zero instances of COVID-19 vaccine waste during the requested timeframe?
Best,
Rachana
