OHSU’s COVID-19 Mass Vaccination Site at the Portland International Airport Red Economy Parking Lot will pilot a “drive-up” event this weekend where individuals will be able to get vaccinated without an appointment.
Oregonians who do not already have an appointment can get a free vaccination at the PDX Red Economy Lot between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday, May 8, and between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday, May 9.
Although OHSU continues to schedule thousands of new vaccination appointments each week, we are organizing this pilot drive-up event at PDX to increase vaccine access for Oregonians. We hope this event will reduce barriers to vaccination and help Oregonians who may find it difficult to make an appointment or commit to being vaccinated at a specific day or time.

Acting Physician General Dr. Denise Johnson saying: “So, I think if you have concerns about getting it, concerns that people have are varied, so if it’s information that they need, um, speak to your Doctor.

Oregonians age 16 and older can use the website at their convenience to schedule an appointment. This week, more than 15,000 appointments will be available.
