Episode Synopsis

Public health officials in Josephine County were headed home from a vaccine clinic in Cave Junction as a snowstorm hit Tuesday. A jackknifed semi blocked their way home, and six doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were about to expire. Up next, reporter Noelle Crombie talks to Mike Weber, Josephine County’s public health director, about the fateful trip and how staff administered the six doses to lucky travelers caught in the traffic jam.
