Marion County (State Fairgrounds)

Step 1 of 4: Confirm you are eligible

Thank you for choosing to be vaccinated for COVID-19. Together, we can beat this virus!

To be eligible at this time you must be part of an eligible group, according to the Oregon Health Authority. (Click here to see the OHA's full list of groups.)

The Pfizer vaccine is not approved for individuals under the age of 16. The Moderna vaccine is not approved for individuals under the age of 18.

Anyone who arrives to be vaccinated will be asked to attest to their eligibility.

If you have insurance, bring your insurance cards, as insurance will be billed for the administration of the vaccine. Even if you don’t have insurance, there is no out-of-pocket cost to you.

Step 2 of 4: Schedule your appointment

Click the button below to see all currently available appointments. If no times are showing, all appointments are full. Please check back — new appointment slots are added Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at noon.

Schedule first dose

The time you select is for the start of your appointment window.

When you arrive, you will be grouped with others who share the same window. There will be a wait time for your vaccination within that group.

If you are unable to schedule an appointment, limited drop-in appointments are available at the Oregon State Fairgrounds (Marion County) vaccine clinic only. However, know that wait times and vaccine availability can vary for unscheduled visits.  

Step 3 of 4: Report to the fairgrounds

The vaccine clinic will operate at the Jackman Long Building at the Oregon State Fair and Expo Center, 2330 17th St NE, Salem.

Enter from Silverton Road on the north end of the fairgrounds. From there, you will be directed by flaggers to a screening area and parking.

The line often extends outside. While there are tents to protect you from the rain, there are no heaters at this time. Please dress accordingly! Be sure to wear a shirt that gives access to your upper arm — and don't forget to wear your mask.

Step 4 of 4: Get your second dose

A second dose will be scheduled for you automatically when you receive the first dose. 

If you need to cancel or reschedule:

MyChart users:

Log in to your MyChart account and click on “My Visits” to see your appointment and reschedule. Note: Appointments for second doses must be on or after your due date: 21 (Pfizer) or 28 (Moderna) days after your first dose.   

All others:

If you did not set up a MyChart account before your first dose, you still can. After creating an account, follow the instructions above to reschedule your second dose.

If you do not wish to set up a MyChart account, you may drop into the vaccine clinic where you received your first vaccine on or after your second dose due date. Be sure to bring the vaccine card you received with your first dose. Returning for a second dose is your responsibility — we will not send you reminders if you do not have a MyChart account. Drop-in availability is limited, and we cannot guarantee that we will have a vaccine for you if you do not have an appointment. Check our website for the hours of each location as they do vary week to week.

Salem Health intends to continue operating vaccine clinics until all of the state of Oregon is vaccinated. Plan on returning to the same location for your second dose unless Salem Health announces a change.

Vaccine clinic operations

Q: Is the vaccine clinic open today?

Check our website to see if the clinic is open and to schedule an appointment: www.salemhealth.org/covid-vaccine.

Q: If I drop in to the clinic without an appointment, am I guaranteed to get a vaccine?

Not necessarily. We will make every effort to ensure that you are vaccinated. But because supplies are limited and change daily, you may be turned away if all of that day's vaccines are reserved for people with appointments.

Q: How are you accommodating people who cannot wait in lines due to age, poor health or other reasons?

If you or someone you’re accompanying has special needs of any kind, let one of our staff know when you arrive. We will direct you to an accessible entrance.

Q: What if I need a wheelchair or help getting into the building?  

Please let the parking attendant know that you will need special assistance.

Q: Do I have to pay for the vaccine out of pocket if I don’t have insurance?

No. We ask that you bring your insurance card if you have health insurance.  If you are uninsured, you will not be charged.

Q: What can I do to help make sure everyone gets vaccinated?

Visit our Vaccine Team page for ways you can help friends and family members sign up for vaccine. We hope to update it often as more resources become available.
