A federal judge in Oregon ruled on Feb. 2 that the state must begin vaccinating its more than 14,000 inmates across 14 prisons against COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus, as cases among prisoners continue to rise.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Stacie Beckerman, in a 34-page opinion (pdf), issued a preliminary injunction requiring Oregon to include prison inmates in Phase 1a, Group 2, of its ongoing vaccination rollout.
