Educators now eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccine

As of Monday, Jan. 25, 2021, Oregon educators — including public and private K-12 educators and staff, early childhood educators and staff and childcare providers and staff — can begin getting vaccinated against COVID-19. If we want to reopen schools to in-person instruction this school year, this is the time to act.

If you do qualify for a COVID-19 vaccine as an Oregon educator, we ask that you attend educator events only. State and local officials ask that you please only attend special educator vaccination events or go to vaccination sites that are clearly designated as open to educators. Vaccine providers may ask you to declare in some way that you are a public or private K-12 educator or staff member, early childhood educator or childcare provider or staff.

3This includes cases who test negative and are not epi-linked to a confirmed case.

4Ever hospitalized, if available, as reported to OPERA. OPERA is the state of Oregon's electronic disease surveillance system for COVID-19. Cases are considered hospitalized if they were ever admitted to the hospital for inpatient care during the their COVID-19 illness.
