FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions
Can minors sign up for vaccinations on their own?
Under Oregon law, minors 15 and older may give consent to medical treatment, including vaccinations, without the consent of a parent or guardian. See the links below for more information.
How can I sign up to get vaccinated?
How long does it take for the vaccine to start protecting you?
It looks like 2-3 weeks. This is a 2-dose series so for full protection, it takes 2-3 weeks after the last shot.
Once I am vaccinated do I need to wear a mask and stay socially distanced?
Yes. The vaccine is over 90% effective, but there is still a chance you can catch COVID-19. With different strains emerging and unanswered questions about how long immunity lasts, it is still best to protect yourself with: wearing a mask, staying 6 ft away from other people, washing your hands frequently.
What can I do once I'm fully vaccinated?
Fully vaccinated people face fewer restrictions and are able to take part in more activities.
