Acceptable vs. Unacceptable Face Masks

As of September 22, 2020, our clinic has a new face mask policy regarding the different types of face masks that can be worn in our offices.

COVID-19 Vaccines

This is very exciting news! There are now two (and soon to be more) COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States. We strongly recommend that you get the vaccine if you are eligible.

Oregon has developed a plan for the order in which people can get the vaccine: Learn More Here

Hillsboro Pediatric Clinic will not be giving the vaccines out at our offices, this is due to the storage and handling requirements for the vaccines. Washington County Health Department has a webpage to help direct you to set up an appointment at sites currently giving vaccines: WA County COVID-19 Vaccines

The current vaccines are only for people 16 years and older. There are COVID-19 vaccine trials ongoing for children as young as 12 years old. Soon there will be vaccine trials for younger children, too.
If you have questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, you can find information by visiting the Center for Disease Control website.
