Chelsea Handler has called off the Oregon shows of her "Vaccinated & Horny" comedy tour after suffering a health scare. The comedian apologized to her fans on February 4, 2022 via an Instagram story.

Chelsea recorded a video from the hospital and assured everyone that she was fine and would find alternate dates for the canceled shows. She said from her hospital bed:

“I am so sorry I had to cancel my shows tonight in Portland and my show in Eugene. I had a scare at the hospital, and I don’t have COVID, and I’m okay, but I had to reschedule my shows. So I just wanted to say that, and I will see you all when I see you, and I’m sorry that I had to cancel. But I’m all OK. And I’m not pregnant.”

The Fun Size star said via an Instagram post that she had to cancel her show due to unforeseen circumstances. Her Eugene show has been postponed to March 4, 2022 and her two Portland shows have been shifted to March 5, 2022. Chelsea's representative is yet to comment.

While speaking to Extra in August 2021, she said that she would describe her state of mind on her upcoming tour, wanting to bring everyone together and cover everything that happened during the pandemic.
