More than a year after coronavirus arrived in Oregon, some long-term care facilities continued to see outbreaks, despite the fact most staff and residents had been fully vaccinated.
Kevin McKay runs Cornerstone Care Option, a senior care facility in Southeast Portland. Like many long-term care facilities, McKay's clinic had its first coronavirus outbreak in April 2020. He hoped it would be his last.
When vaccines became available earlier this year, McKay thought the worst was behind him. By the end of February, 75% of his staff and 92% of his residents were fully vaccinated.
But at the end of April, Cornerstone Care had a resident test positive. By early May, multiple people had coronavirus, including McKay.
The outbreak has since been resolved but the number of fully vaccinated people who tested positive surprised McKay.
