Flu Shots and COVID-19

Getting a flu shot is one simple thing people can do to keep themselves and their loved ones healthy this fall and winter. While getting a flu shot won’t protect you from COVID-19, it’s a safe and effective way to prevent the flu. The flu vaccine may take up to two weeks to become effective, so getting it earlier in the season is ideal.

Getting Tested

COVID-19 Testing in Oregon Preubas de COVID-19 en Oregón

Many people are interested in testing for COVID-19 out of concern for themselves and their loved ones. If you have trouble breathing or feel very ill, contact your healthcare provider or, in case of emergency, call 911. Healthcare providers may decide to have you first tested for other illnesses, like the flu, based on your possible exposure history and any other symptoms you might have.

Call before you go. If you have flu-like symptoms or have reason to think you might have COVID-19, let your healthcare provider know before you visit. This will help avoid exposing anyone else at the provider’s facility.

If you have health insurance: Contact your health insurer or visit the Department of Consumer and Business Services website.

If you don't have health insurance: If you do not have health insurance, you should apply for OHP coverage, which fully covers the cost of getting tested for COVID-19 if needed. If you don’t want to sign up for OHP, you can see a clinician through your county health clinic or a ​federally qualified health center (FQHC).

K-12 Schools

The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) has released Ready Schools, Safe Learners, which is guidance for public and private K-12 schools to develop an operational blueprint for the 2020-21 school year. Returning Oregon students to on-site learning is an enormous responsibility, and that responsibility is shared by schools, districts, and local and state health and education agencies. OHA is a close partner to ODE in developing this guidance, and supporting schools and districts in development of their operational blueprint.
