Recreational use advisory downgraded to a precaution for Powder Arm of Brownlee Reservoir
PORTLAND, Ore.—Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has downgraded the recreational use health advisory to a precaution for Powder Arm of Brownlee Reservoir. OHA release - OHA issued the advisory Sept. 21. Water monitoring has confirmed that the level of cyanotoxins in Powder Arm of Brownlee Reservoir are below recreational guideline values for people. However, levels detected are still above OHA’s educational guideline values for dogs, and owners should keep their pets away from areas with blooms. OHA advises recreational visitors to continually be alert to signs of cyanobacteria blooms. This is because blooms can develop and disappear on any water body at any time when bloom conditions are favorable. Only a fraction of water bodies in Oregon are monitored for blooms and toxins, so it’s important for people to become familiar with the signs of a bloom, and exposure routes and symptoms by visiting OHA’s Cyanobacteria (Harmful Algae) Blooms website at http://www.healthoregon.org/hab. When recreating, people, and especially small children, and pets should avoid areas where the water is foamy, scummy, thick like paint, pea-green or blue-green, or if thick brownish-red mats are visible or bright green clumps are suspended in the water. If you see these signs, avoid activities such as swimming or motorized or non-motorized boating activities that cause you to swallow water or inhale droplets, and keep pets out of the area. Cyanotoxins can still exist in clear water. When a bloom dies, toxins released may reach into clear water around the bloom. Blooms can be pushed into other areas, leaving toxins behind. There also are species of cyanobacteria that anchor themselves at the bottom of a water body, live in the sediment, or can grow on aquatic plants and release toxins into clear water. For health information or to report an illness, contact OHA at 971-673-0482, or visit OHA’s Cyanobacteria (Harmful Algae) Blooms website.

Declining influenza vaccinations continue among health care workers
OHA data show flu shot rate dropped from 85% to 52% since 2019-2020 season. OHA release - PORTLAND, Ore.—Despite often caring for patients at higher risk of severe outcomes from respiratory virus infection, health care workers in Oregon continue to lag in rates of vaccination against the potentially deadly influenza, according to new state data. Just over half the state’s nearly 150,000 eligible health care workers—52%—were vaccinated during the 2025-2026 flu season, according to the Healthcare Worker Influenza Vaccination Dashboard, published by Oregon Health Authority’s Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Program. That is 2 percentage points lower than in the 2024-2025 season and 33 percentage points lower than in the 2019-2020 season, when the rate was 85%. Dat Tran, M.D., the HAI Program’s medical director, said he’s troubled by declining flu vaccination rates among health care workers at ambulatory surgery centers, dialysis centers, hospitals, inpatient psychiatric facilities and skilled nursing facilities. When flu vaccination rates drop, the risk of influenza transmission to vulnerable patients rises. “While we encourage everyone in Oregon to get the flu vaccine, it’s especially important for people in the health care field to be vaccinated,” Tran said. “The people being cared for in health care settings often have health conditions that make them particularly susceptible to severe health outcomes, and even death.” In addition to helping protect patients, higher influenza vaccination rates can help reduce the spread of the virus among a health care facility’s staff, Tran said. This can reduce worker absenteeism, lost productivity, and health care costs. “We know all too well from the pandemic how an outbreak of a highly infectious respiratory virus in a health care setting can affect hospital staffing levels and patient care,” Tran added. “A health care workforce that’s highly vaccinated against influenza can help reduce the risk and impact of influenza outbreaks in health care settings.” OHA requires annual reporting of health care worker influenza vaccination data from five facility types: ambulatory surgery centers, dialysis centers, hospitals, inpatient psychiatric facilities, and nursing facilities. Facilities self-report aggregate counts, by worker category, of health care workers who were vaccinated, declined vaccination, had a documented medical contraindication or had unknown vaccination status. The Healthcare Worker Influenza Vaccination Dashboard filters data by facility type, county and worker classification. Trends by influenza season and facility-specific data are also available. During the 2025-2026 influenza season, ambulatory surgery centers reported the highest influenza vaccination rate among workers—62%. They were followed by hospitals at 57%, dialysis centers at 51%, inpatient psychiatric facilities at 33%, and nursing facilities at 25%. Ambulatory surgery centers, dialysis centers, and inpatient psychiatric facilities were the only facility types that saw increases in health care worker influenza vaccination rates between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 seasons. Dialysis center influenza vaccination rates have been on a steady upward trend since 2021-2022, when the rate was 27%. Nursing facilities in Oregon saw the largest drop in health care worker influenza vaccination rates between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 seasons: from 30% to 25%. The proportion of eligible health care workers who declined influenza vaccination during the 2025-2026 season increased slightly from the prior season, from 18% to 19%. Similarly, the percentage of health care workers whose vaccination status was unknown also went up a percentage point during that time, from 28% to 29%, which is the highest percentage of the past seven flu seasons. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Healthy People 2020 initiative included a goal of 90% influenza vaccination coverage among health care personnel. Healthy People 2030 does not include a health care personnel-specific influenza vaccination goal, so Oregon continues to use the former Healthy People 2020 goal as its benchmark. To achieve 90% vaccination coverage, an additional 55,433 health care workers would have needed to be vaccinated during the 2025-2026 influenza season. It’s difficult to know from these data alone why Oregon’s documented health care worker influenza vaccination rate has declined, Tran said. Similar declines have been reported nationally, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified several possible contributors, including vaccine fatigue, reduced emphasis on influenza vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic, lower perceived influenza risk and differences in workplace vaccination policies and access. “Oregon also saw the percentage of health care workers with unknown vaccination status rise from 7% in 2019-2020 to 29% in 2025-2026, so documentation may be part of the picture,” Tran said. “However, unknown status does not tell us whether an individual worker was vaccinated, and the dashboard cannot determine how much of the decline reflects vaccination behavior versus incomplete documentation.” Health care facilities can take steps to meet this goal, Tran explained. Public health recommendations include encouraging health care workers, including those not employed by the facility—such as contractors and volunteers—to get vaccinated at the beginning of every influenza season. Facilities can also host promotional activities, such as holding mass vaccination fairs, providing vaccines at no cost to employees, starting incentive programs, and documenting all health care workers’ vaccination status and requiring a declination form for health care workers who forgo vaccination. OHA has developed a toolkit for health care employers and workers to help them improve employee flu vaccination rates at their facilities to protect patients, themselves and their families.

Open Enrollment begins as Oregon launches Explore Health, its new marketplace for private health insurance
People can now shop, compare plans, find savings, and enroll in 2027 health coverage at ExploreHealthOR.gov. OHA release - SALEM, Ore. — Open Enrollment for 2027 health coverage is now underway, and people in Oregon have a new place to shop for health insurance: Explore Health. Explore Health, Oregon’s new state-based health insurance marketplace, officially launched Nov. 1. It replaces the federal platform HealthCare.gov as the place for people in Oregon to shop for private health coverage, find out if they can get financial help, and enroll in a health plan. Open Enrollment for private insurance through Explore Health runs from Nov. 1, 2026, through Jan. 15, 2027. “This is an important milestone for Oregon and for the people we serve,” said Chiqui Flowers, director of the Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace, part of Oregon Health Authority (OHA). “With Explore Health, people can now shop for coverage through a Marketplace designed and operated here in Oregon. Our goal is to make it easier for people to understand their options, find savings, and get the best coverage that works for them.” What people need to know: People who buy their own health insurance can now visit ExploreHealthOR.gov to: Shop and compare health and dental plans available for 2027. Find out how much federal financial help (premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions) they may qualify for to lower the cost of coverage. Enroll in a plan for 2027. Get free help from trained insurance agents and community partners across Oregon. People who have 2026 Marketplace coverage through HealthCare.gov are being moved to Explore Health for 2027. They do not need to start over with a new application. During Open Enrollment, they should claim their Explore Health account, sign in to review their information, compare available plans and savings, and choose the coverage that best meets their health care needs and budget. People who are currently enrolled in Oregon Health Plan (OHP), OHP Bridge, Medicare, employer-sponsored coverage, or other health coverage generally do not need to enroll through Explore Health. A new Marketplace built for Oregon: The launch of Explore Health marks Oregon’s transition from the federally facilitated HealthCare.gov system and customer service center to a state-based marketplace operated entirely by Oregon. The Oregon Legislature authorized the transition in 2023 through Senate Bill 972. By operating its own Marketplace, Oregon has more control over the technology and services people use to enroll in coverage, better access to data to understand and respond to the needs of people across the state, and greater flexibility to adapt to changing state and federal policies. It also allows Oregon to better connect the Marketplace with state programs and resources. Explore Health includes a new online enrollment platform, a dedicated Consumer Assistance Center, and tools for community partners and insurance agents who help people enroll. “Launching Explore Health is an important step in Oregon’s commitment to helping people get and stay covered,” said Fariborz Pakseresht, interim director of OHA. “Bringing the Marketplace home to Oregon gives us new opportunities to better understand the needs of the people we serve, respond to changes that affect their coverage, and create a more connected experience for people seeking health care coverage.” Free help is available: People do not have to navigate health coverage on their own. Free, local help is available from certified assisters at community partner organizations and licensed insurance agents. Visit ExploreHealthOR.gov to get started and find enrollment help. People can also contact the Explore Health Consumer Assistance Center at 855-268-3767 (all relay calls welcome) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time on Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Pacific Time on Saturday during Open Enrollment. Open Enrollment through Explore Health ends Jan. 15, 2027. People should enroll by Dec. 31 for coverage that begins Jan. 1, 2027. About Explore Health: Explore Health is Oregon’s health insurance marketplace, operated by the Oregon Health Authority. Explore Health helps people who do not have health coverage through a job or a public program shop for private health insurance, find financial help and enroll in coverage.

The Invisible Winter Threat: Oregon State Fire Marshal Marks Carbon Monoxide Awareness Month
OR State Fire Marshal release - With 62% of Oregon’s carbon monoxide emergencies happening in fall and winter, fire officials urge people to protect their homes before temperatures drop. SALEM, Ore. — As Oregonians turn on furnaces, light fireplaces, and pull out space heaters for colder months, emergency responders across the state are bracing for a predictable and preventable seasonal threat. November marks Carbon Monoxide Awareness Month, and the Oregon State Fire Marshal urges Oregonians and visitors to be aware of the silent killer lurking in fuel-burning household appliances. In 2025, 83% of Oregon’s 300+ fire agencies reported responding to 417 carbon monoxide-related calls statewide. Cold weather drives this sharp uptick: 26% of Oregon’s carbon monoxide-related incidents happen in the fall, rising to 36% in the winter months. Oregon Health Authority data show carbon monoxide poisoning kills an average of 18 people and causes nearly 41 hospitalizations or emergency room visits in Oregon every year. Nationally, the toxic gas leads to more than 100,000 emergency room visits and 1,200 deaths annually. "Carbon monoxide gives no warning; you cannot see it, smell it, or taste it," State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple said. "As we enter peak heating season, taking a few minutes to inspect fuel-burning appliances and test your carbon monoxide alarms can mean the difference between life and death." Why the Hazard Spikes in Winter: Carbon monoxide is produced whenever fuels like natural gas, propane, heating oil, wood, kerosene, or gasoline burn incompletely. During colder months, there are multiple risks: Overworked heating equipment: Uninspected furnaces, boilers, fireplaces, and wood or pellet stoves can leak dangerous concentrations of carbon monoxide directly into home living spaces. Improper generator & tool use: Running portable generators, charcoal grills, or fuel-powered tools indoors or near open windows during power outages traps deadly exhaust inside. Vehicle warm-ups in garages: Running a vehicle engine inside an attached garage, even with the garage door wide open, allows toxic gas to rapidly seep into the home. Recognizing the Flu Impostor: Carbon monoxide poisoning is notoriously difficult to identify because early symptoms closely resemble the flu without a fever. Warning signs include: Headache, dizziness, and physical weakness; Upset stomach, nausea, or vomiting; Chest pain and mental confusion. Because carbon monoxide exposure directly impairs cognitive function and judgment, those poisoned often lose the ability to recognize the danger before they can self-rescue. How to Reduce Your Risk: Essential Prevention Checklist: The Oregon State Fire Marshal urges everyone to take these life-saving precautions: Install working alarms: Oregon law requires carbon monoxide alarms on every level with bedrooms in homes sold or rented and installed within 15 feet of bedroom doors. Test monthly & maintain: Press the test button on your carbon monoxide alarms every month. Replace removable batteries as directed and replace the entire alarm unit every 10 years (or per manufacturer recommendations). Keep generators outdoors: Always operate portable generators outdoors, at least 20 feet away from windows, doors, and building vents. Schedule annual inspections: Have heating equipment, chimneys, and fuel-burning appliances inspected yearly by qualified professionals.

Gear restrictions extended on Chetco, Winchuck rivers
ODFW release - GOLD BEACH, Ore – ODFW has extended recreational angling gear restrictions for the Chetco and Winchuck rivers through Dec. 31 due to low water levels. Angling is restricted in both rivers to bobber fishing or fly fishing with a strike indicator until Dec. 31. The Chetco restriction applies from River Mile 2.2 to Nook Creek, and in the Winchuck the restriction is from the mouth to Wheeler Creek. Based on historical flow regimes, gear restrictions are typically in place Sept. 1 – Nov. 3 each year. As in 2022, this year is an exception with abnormally low flows and no significant rain expected. The gear restriction will be lifted once flows have increased and are forecasted to remain high enough to allow Chinook to distribute throughout the river. Extending the gear restriction allows anglers the continued opportunity to fish for salmon while reducing the incidence of snagging and poaching. Illegal fishing techniques are problematic when low water levels keep fish within the lower reaches of the rivers. The salmon become a target for snagging and other methods of poaching. ODFW biologists are already seeing good numbers of Chinook returning to the Chetco. Maintaining a fishing opportunity for anglers is important and this is also a good time of year to harvest returning hatchery fish. Anglers are reminded that the daily adult wild Chinook salmon bag limit is one fish per day and no more than five adult wild Chinook can be retained for the season. Find more information on the ODFW Regulation Update Page.
