ALT Don’t • Go out if you are sick or know you have been exposed to the virus. • Attend crowded events, especially indoors. • Plan activities that involve eating and drinking, which would mean taking off your mask.

ALT Masked-up vs. bare-faced As more Oregonians become fully vaccinated, we’re able to resume some things we’d stopped doing because of the pandemic. If it’s been two weeks since your final COVID-19 shot, you also can go unmasked in many situations. Keep in mind that wearing a face covering protects everyone around you. Use care when deciding to bare your face.
ALT If you’re fully vaccinated, you still need to wear a mask: • Indoors when required by local rules or businesses. • On public transit and in airports, train or bus stations. • In school buildings. • When going to the doctor. • At hospitals and long-term care facilities. • In group settings such as homeless shelters, jails and prisons.

ALT Keep in mind that wearing a face covering protects everyone around you. Even if it’s not required, you may want to stay masked up in settings with a higher risk, such as in crowds or when infection rates are high in your community. If you’re fully vaccinated, you still need to wear a mask in some situations.
ALT You don’t need a mask: • While doing daily activities outdoors. • In public indoors with proof of vaccination such as a CDC vaccination card. • When traveling if you’re not using public transit or at an airport, bus or train station.
ALT 1. Vaccines keep people from going to the hospital or dying because of COVID-19. They are our strongest defense against the virus. 2. Once you’re fully vaccinated, you can do many of the things you stopped doing during the pandemic. In many cases, you can resume daily activities without a mask or staying 6 feet apart.
ALT 5. Side effects usually last just a few days. Most are mild or moderate. It’s common to feel tired or achy, have a fever or chills, and to be sore where you got your shot.

ALT Vaccines can help us turn the tide. But stopping the virus will take every available tool. If you’re not vaccinated, keep following the 3 W’s in public to protect yourself and your family. 1. Wear a face covering (ages 2 ). 2. Wash/sanitize hands often. 3. Watch your distance (stay at least 6 feet apart).
ALT Follow the 3 W’s in these situations: • When required by local rules or businesses. • In airports, train or bus stations and on public transit. • When going to the doctor. • At hospitals and long-term care facilities. • In group settings such as homeless shelters, jails and prisons.

ALT What’s the big deal about B.1.1.7? Our spring surge of COVID-19 is linked to a highly contagious version of the virus. Known as the B.1.1.7 variant, it’s now the most common strain in Oregon. With this strain circulating in our communities, it’s critical that we take steps to protect ourselves.
