Who Is Eligible for the COVID-19 Vaccine?
All Oregonians, age 6 months and older, are now eligible for COVID-19 vaccination.
- The Pfizer vaccine is authorized for age 6 months and older.
- The Moderna vaccine is authorized for ages 6 months to 5 years and 18 years and older.
- The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is only authorized for ages 18 and older.
- Parental consent is needed for children under the age of 15 at Samaritan clinics.

How Many Doses of Each Vaccine?
This depends on which vaccine and your age group.
-
Pfizer: 12 years and older and 5 to 11 years: two-dose series; 6 months to 4 years: three-dose series.
-
Moderna: 18 years and older and 6 months to 5 years: two dose series.
-
Johnson & Johnson: 18 and older: one dose vaccination.
Booster Doses Recommended for All Three Vaccines
A first booster dose is authorized for people ages 5 and over.
- Pfizer boosters are authorized for ages 5 and up, and recommended at five months after the second dose of the primary series.
- Moderna boosters are authorized for ages 18 and up, and recommended at five months after the second dose of the primary series.
- Johnson & Johnson boosters are authorized for ages 18 and up, and recommended at two months after the original dose. Getting a Pfizer or Moderna dose as the booster following a Johnson & Johnson vaccine is recommended.
A second booster dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine is recommended for all people ages 50 and over and immunocompromised people ages 12 and over, at least four months after the first booster.
Additional boosters recommended for:
- All adults ages 65 and over.
- Adults ages 50 and over with underlying medical conditions.
- All immunocompromised people ages 12 and over (Pfizer) or ages 18 and over (Moderna).
National and state health agencies have also authorized “mixing and matching” of the three vaccine brands for boosters, meaning a person may get a booster dose of a different vaccine than they originally received.
Third Doses for Immunocompromised
A third dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine is authorized for moderate or severely immunocompromised patients, given at least 28 days after their second dose. Boosters would then be administered at the appropriate time following the third dose. Read more about this here.

Vaccine Safety
How do we know the coronavirus vaccines are safe? The coronavirus vaccines went through very large, rigorous clinical trials.
The clinical trials included up to 40,000 people, which is more than double the size of most vaccine clinical trials. That allowed the pharmaceutical companies to go through the required testing steps in a very short time.
The vaccines have been shown to be safe and very effective at preventing COVID-19 infection, and nearly 100% effective in preventing hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19.
