Kate Brown says that while that is welcome news, she will not change the state’s current eligibility timeline until weekly shipment allocations increase. Currently in Oregon, those who can receive the vaccine include health care workers, first responders, teachers and residents over age 65.People who are 45 or older with a pre-existing condition, seasonal and migrant farmworkers, food processors, the homeless and those affected by last summer’s wildfires are scheduled to become eligible on March 29.
