Navigating COVID-19 Vaccine Availability and Boosters: What You Should Know

COVID-19 vaccines are increasingly available in Oregon, with pharmacies and other locations stocking up. However, securing a vaccine appointment may require some planning, as many locations have appointments scheduled a week or two in advance. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the new Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine for everyone aged 6 months and older, provided it has been at least two months since their last COVID-19 vaccine dose. The Oregon Health Authority emphasizes the importance of vaccination to prevent another surge in respiratory viruses this winter. Vaccines are expected to be updated and recommended annually, similar to flu shots.
