A few other things to be aware of:
- VA Portland will have the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine on these dates, which requires two doses. We will schedule your second dose when you receive your first.
- You should NOT sign up to be vaccinated if:
- You have had a major allergic reaction to other vaccines or any ingredient of this vaccine, or
- You have received another immunization in the last 14 days.
- The CDC DOES recommend vaccination for almost everyone else, including people who have had other types of allergic reactions (e.g., to food, pets, venom, latex, or oral medications).
- If you are immunocompromised or have an autoimmune condition, or you are pregnant, please refer to this link and consider talking to your provider prior to vaccination if you have any questions: Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of COVID-19 Vaccines | CDC
On the day of your vaccination:
- Do not come to the vaccine clinic if you have a fever, cough, or are otherwise feeling ill. Please cancel your reservation, and we will work with you to reschedule it.
- Please arrive 5 minutes early to your reservation, not sooner. If you arrive earlier, please stay in your car until your reservation time. This will help us keep the clinic from becoming overcrowded.
- You will be required to wear a mask and maintain social distancing during your vaccination visit. If a caregiver accompanies you, they should stay in the car during your visit unless you absolutely cannot manage without them or they also have a reservation to receive a vaccination.
- You will be observed for at least 15 minutes after your vaccination to ensure you don't have a reaction to it. The risk of a serious reaction appears to be very low - approximately 1 in 100,000.
Thank you for your service and/or your support of our Veterans!
