Multnomah County Isn’t Sending Vaccine Clinics to Schools The opportunity is slipping away for health officials to reach teenagers who aren’t actively seeking a COVID-19 vaccination. Updated 5:30 AM One of the most diverse school districts in Oregon asked Multnomah County this month for a COVID-19 vaccination clinic at its high school and was rejected. David Douglas School District, which covers much of East Portland, sent 95 students via school bus to the vaccination clinic at the Oregon Convention Center on Friday, May 7, a week before vaccinations became available to kids between the ages of 12 and 15.
