Schedule Your COVID-19 Vaccination

All Oregonians, age 6 months and older, are now eligible for COVID-19 vaccination.

• The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are authorized for ages 6 months and older. These vaccines use mRNA technology. 
• The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is authorized for ages 18 and older. It is a viral vector vaccine. Given how much more effective the other types of COVID-19 vaccines are, it is only recommended in some cases.
• The Novavax vaccine is authorized for ages 18 and older. It is a protein subunit vaccine, similar to those used in flu vaccines and in childhood immunizations. NOTE: Novavax became available in Oregon as of July 28, 2022. Initial supplies are very limited and are currently being offered to eligible patients at high-volume clinics in Beaverton, Wood Village and Eugene. 
• Learn more about all of these vaccines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vaccines for COVID-19 page.

Patients under 15 who are not accompanied by a parent or guardian, must bring a signed consent form with them. 

• English consent form.

• Espanol consent form.

How Many Doses of Each Vaccine?

This depends on which vaccine and your age group.

• Pfizer: 6 months to 4 years receive a three-dose series; 5 years and older receive a two-dose series.

• Moderna: all ages 6 months and older receive a two dose series.

• Novavax: All adults ages 18 and older receive a two-dose series.

• Johnson & Johnson: All adults ages 18 and older receive one dose. 

Booster Doses

A first booster dose is authorized for people ages 5 and over. 

• Pfizer boosters are authorized for ages 5 and up, and recommended at five months after the second dose of the primary series.

• Moderna boosters are authorized for ages 18 and up, and recommended at five months after the second dose of the primary series.

• Johnson & Johnson boosters are authorized for ages 18 and up, and recommended at two months after the original dose. Getting a Pfizer or Moderna booster following a Johnson & Johnson vaccine is recommended.
   
• Novavax is not yet authorized for boosters. 

A second booster dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine is recommended for all people ages 50 and over and immunocompromised people ages 12 and over, at least four months after the first booster.

Additional boosters are recommended for:

• All adults ages 65 and over. 
• Adults ages 50 and over with underlying medical conditions. 
• All immunocompromised people ages 12 and over (Pfizer) or ages 18 and over (Moderna).

National and state health agencies have also authorized “mixing and matching” of the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccine brands for boosters, meaning a person may get a booster dose of a different vaccine than they originally received. 

Third Doses for Immunocompromised

A third dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine is authorized for moderate or severely immunocompromised patients, given at least 28 days after their second dose. Boosters would then be administered at the appropriate time following the third dose. Read more about this here.

How do we know the coronavirus vaccines are safe? The coronavirus vaccines went through very large, rigorous clinical trials.

The clinical trials included up to 40,000 people, which is more than double the size of most vaccine clinical trials. That allowed the pharmaceutical companies to go through the required testing steps in a very short time.

The vaccines have been shown to be safe and very effective at preventing COVID-19 infection, and nearly 100% effective in preventing hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19.
