Yesterday’s news about the FDA approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine means the deadline for state employees to be fully vaccinated is Oct. 18. Fully vaccinated means having received both doses of a two-dose vaccine or one dose of a single-dose vaccine and at least 14 days have passed since the individual’s final dose of COVID-19 vaccine. All updates will be shared on our COVID-19 information page. And remember to send your questions to COVID-19Questions@odot.state.or.us. We’re compiling an FAQ document as we work out details and will share with everyone as soon as possible.
