All Oregonians age 5 and older can get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Second boosters are available at our COVID vaccine clinic for those who are eligible.
The CDC has updated it's booster guidelines. They now suggest you get a Pfizer or Moderna booster at least five months after completing your primary COVID-19 vaccination series. Moderna boosters are authorized for all adults over the age of 18 at least five months after completing primary vaccination. Pfizer boosters are authorized for emergency use in individuals ages 12 -17 at least five months after completing primary vaccination.
The CDC recommends that some people, especially males 12-39 years old, wait up to eight weeks between the first and second doses of a Moderna or Pfizer primary series vaccine. Studies show that waiting a longer interval can reduce the risk of myocarditis following vaccination.
How to get vaccinated
3rd Doses and boosters
To get your third dose or booster shot, you can call our Vaccination Scheduling Center at 1-833-606-4370 or schedule through your MyChart account to make an appointment, or walk-in at the Vaccination Clinic.

Second COVID-19 vaccine boosters are available at our vaccine clinics for those who are eligible. To be eligible you must have received your first booster dose at least four months ago and fit into one of these four categories: People over 50 years old, adults who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as their primary dose and received a Moderna or Pfizer booster, immunocompromised adults, and immunocompromised children ages 12-17 (can only receive a Pfizer booster).

Due to an error in record uploads in 2015, scheduling third doses for Klamath Falls locations is not available to all patients on MyChart. This error causes patients to only see Asante (Medford, Ashland, Talent) vaccination locations. If you encounter this problem while trying to schedule your third Pfizer dose, please use the vaccine scheduling center phone number to schedule your third dose appointment instead. That number is 1.833.606.4370
