If you test positive for COVID-19 and are at high risk of severe COVID-19 illness, you may be able to get treatment medication quickly. One option is for your health care provider to prescribe you the antiviral medication Paxlovid or Molnupiravir, which must be taken within five days of the onset of symptoms. If you don’t have a health care provider, the federal Test-to-Treat program offers a one-stop-shop for COVID-19 testing, a medical evaluation and receiving the medication. Read on to learn more.

Oregon’s My Electronic Vaccine Card gives you an electronic copy of COVID-19 vaccinations you’ve received in Oregon. It’s the same information on your paper vaccine card. By using this new and completely voluntary service, you can use your mobile device to show proof of vaccination in places such as businesses, airports, international borders or in medical settings.
The only information stored on the digital card is your name, date of birth and the types of vaccines you’ve received in Oregon.
Oregon Health Authority will not share this information with anyone, including other government agencies.
Read on to learn more about My Electronic Vaccine Card including how to set it up, troubleshooting tips and contact for technical support or language assistance.
