Please don’t wait – – vaccinate.  Getting vaccinated for COVID-19 protects our elders and others who are vulnerable.    The FDA has now given an Emergency Use Authorization for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for youth ages 12-15.  Families who would like to have their kids vaccinated – can call the vaccine hotline at 541-553-2131, to get their name on the waiting list.  This will also help the Health & Wellness Center with estimating how much vaccine to try and get.

Even with folks getting vaccinated for COVID-19 we all still need to continue to take protective measures.

  • Wear a Face Mask
  • Maintain 6 feet of social distance from others
  • Avoid gatherings with anyone you do not live with
