More on eligibility can be found on our website.
On Monday, April 5th Phase 1B Group 7 is eligible for the vaccine. This is the last group before the vaccine is available to anyone age 16 or older. General population will be eligible by at least May 5th, but that date could be moved up by the State of Oregon.
Lincoln County Public Health will begin using the “Get Vaccinated Oregon” (GVO) web portal for vaccine clinic notifications effective Monday, April 5th. This portal will allow individuals to sign up for notifications about any new clinics in the state that are open to them. It will also be much easier for users to unsubscribe from notifications.
This portal will be used for all of the public clinics held by Lincoln County Public Health, North Lincoln Fire Department, PacWest Ambulance (Waldport) and Samaritan Health Services. Public Health encourages anyone who has been on the local notification list (waitlist) to sign up for GVO today at www.getvaccinated.oregon.gov Scheduling appointments will still be done as before – either by clicking on the provided link or contacting the call center. For clinics hosted by Samaritan Health the call center number is 855-441-2311. For other Lincoln County clinics contact the Call Center at 541-265-0621.
There are several benefits of joining Get Vaccinated Oregon.
- You will get text or email notifications if you are eligible for new clinics. These clinics could be anywhere in the state.
- You can unsubscribe easily from text or email notifications.
- You can use the map function to look for clinics near you.
However, not all vaccine providers upload their clinic information to GVO, so Lincoln County will continue to maintain a list of known pharmacies and other providers on the county website.
In addition to this change, the county has launched a new page with information about all three vaccines currently available at www.co.lincoln.or.us/hhs/page/details-about-each-covid-19-vaccine . This is also linked from the main COVID-19 vaccine pages.
