Marion County residents can sign up to get a Covid vaccine at Legacy Health’s Woodburn clinic, 1475 Mt. Hood Ave., starting Tuesday.
Legacy Health has appointments available from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday for people currently eligible to be vaccinated in Oregon. That includes seniors 80 and older, teachers, child care workers, first responders, correctional employees and health care workers.
Seniors 75 and older become eligible Feb. 15.
To schedule an appointment, go to covidvaccine.oregon.gov and use the live chat tool in the bottom right corner of the screen to answer questions about eligibility. Marion County residents who are eligible to receive a vaccine will be directed to the sign-up page for Legacy Health.
People with questions or who need help scheduling can call 211, email [email protected], or text ORCOVID to the number 898211.
Woodburn has recorded one of the highest rates of Covid cases of any ZIP code in Oregon to date. Legacy expects to vaccinate 200 to 400 people daily at the clinic, spokeswoman Kristin Whitney said. The clinic is “intended to address a gap in access to vaccines in a region that the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted,” Whitney said in a statement.
