On May 19, the Governor’s Office and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) released a public service announcement (PSA) produced with the Portland Timbers urging people in Oregon to get vaccinated to protect against COVID-19.  

“I work all game for the perfect shot. And when it finally lines up, I always take it,” said Timbers midfielder Eryk Williamson in the PSA. “Oregon, you’ve worked hard and given up a lot during the pandemic. It’s time to finish this thing. The COVID-19 vaccine is the safest and best way to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our community. Don’t miss your shot.” 

Watch the PSA below.

If you have lost your vaccination card, here’s how you can replace the card:

• Contact the clinic where you got your vaccine
• Ask your health care provider for a record
• Follow the instructions on the ALERT IIS page
• Call 211 for help in languages other than English
