You are “up to date” with your COVID-19 vaccines when you have received all doses in the primary series and all boosters recommended for you, when eligible. You will be considered "fully vaccinated" at that point.
You won’t have full immunity from vaccination until 14 days after the final dose in the primary series of whichever vaccine you've received. If you think you are having a severe reaction, seek immediate care by calling 911. In most cases, the side effects should go away within a few days.
Your original COVID-19 vaccination card is proof of vaccination. What should I expect after I get vaccinated? Vaccine providers may ask if you live in Oregon.
There is no need to bring identification, social security number or health insurance to your vaccine appointment. Proof of eligibility or identification is not required This means that you might be asked for your insurance information when you get your vaccine. If you have health insurance, vaccine providers may charge your insurance company an administration fee for giving you the vaccine. Safe and effective vaccines are our best tools against COVID-19.
Mass vaccination helps slow the spread of COVID-19 and reduces the severity of illness including hospitalization and death. The COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson were tested in tens of thousands of study participants and generated enough data to convince the FDA that the vaccines were safe and effective. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) requires rigorous safety testing before it will authorize any vaccine for emergency use. So the state is working to make sure Oregonians who live or work in a long-term care setting that is NOT part of the federal program can get vaccinated against COVID another way.įor more information visit the CDC Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program. The CDC didn't partner with every long-term care facility in Oregon. If you live or work in a long-term care site that is part of the federal pharmacy partnership, you can get your vaccine through one of three scheduled onsite clinics planned for each enrolled facility.
