I don’t know if I’m in Phase 1a, how do I check? 

Please check the Oregon COVID-19 Vaccine Sequencing Plan. For additional questions: COVID19.vaccine@dshoha.state.or.us.

Do I need to show any proof that I’m in Phase 1a? 

The Oregon Health Authority is not requiring verification and has no plans to request verification from vaccinating providers. Vaccine providers may require an individual to self-attest they are in a Phase1a group.

I’ve been turned away from getting a vaccine by a COVID-19 vaccine provider. What do I do now? 

If you believe you do fall under Phase 1a, please contact your local public health authority to be connected to a vaccine provider.
