The COVID-19 vaccine is in Umatilla County, but will be several months before it is available to the general public due to its limited supply.

People who are most affected by the COVID-19 virus will have first access to the vaccination. In Oregon, that will be front-line health care workers who care for patients with COVID-19.

If you are eligible to be vaccinated for COVID-19 during Phase 1A or 1B, you can anticipate being notified by your employer.

Umatilla County Health is requesting that residents refrain from calling the county health office with questions regarding vaccine eligibility. Instead, they are encouraged to visit the county health website for COVID-19 vaccine information, including eligibility and distribution. Additional COVID-19 vaccination information will be posted to the website as it becomes available.

Umatilla County residents are asked to call 211 with questions regarding COVID-19. Anyone exhibiting symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath, call your primary care provider first to discuss the next steps.

County-specific data is available on the Regional COVID-19 Data Dashboard and will be updated Monday-Friday.
