Are you protected against flu, COVID-19 and RSV? It’s important to stay up to date on Medicare-covered vaccines. Vaccines can lower your risk of getting really sick, and their side effects are usually mild and temporary.
Vaccine Finder
Here’s how to stay up to date on your vaccines:
-
For better protection against flu, the CDC recommends people 65 or older get one of the higher-dose flu vaccines, if available.
-
People 65 or older should get 2 doses of the updated 2024– 2025 COVID-19 vaccine, spaced 6 months apart. Consider getting the 2nd dose sooner if you have upcoming travel, life events, and health care visits.
-
Everyone 75 or older, and people ages 60–74 who are at increased risk, should get the RSV vaccine. RSV isn’t an annual vaccine. If you’ve already gotten an RSV vaccine, you don’t need to get another one at this time.
Remember, Medicare drug coverage (Part D) also covers vaccines for shingles, tetanus-diphtheria-whooping cough (TDAP), and more at no cost. Talk with your doctor about which vaccines can help you stay healthy this winter!

Oregon Programs support Black moms and their babies

Black Maternal Health Week, recognized April 11-17 each year, is a time to reflect on opportunities for health equity in maternal care. Black mothers are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white mothers. This week, we want to highlight OHA programs that support all pregnant people, new moms and babies throughout Oregon to ensure they have access to the health care and support they need.
These programs include:
- Oregon’s WIC program provides prenatal care, nutritious foods, breastfeeding support and more for pregnant people and families with young children.
Babies First! is a nurse home-visiting program for pregnant people and children through age 4 and their caregivers with health and social histories that put them at risk for poor health and development outcomes. - Oregon Oregon MothersCare improves access to prenatal care for all people in Oregon, including free pregnancy testing.
- Oregon MothersCare is a community health program that helps transform the lives of vulnerable mothers pregnant with their first child.
- Nurse Family Partnership is a community health program that helps trasnform the lives of vulnerable mothers pregnant wit their first chidl
- Oregon Health Plan (OHP/Medicaid) covers pregnancy and postpartum care including doula services, dental care, newborn well-child visits, birth control, non-emergency travel expenses, and more. Learn more about OHP pregnancy care here. OHP will cover your baby until their 6th birthday.
- OHA’s Family and Child Health Section (FCH) is committed to advancing racial equity and improving cultural and linguistic responsiveness. Learn more about FCH’s commitment and vision for racial equity here.

Here’s how to stay up to date on your vaccines:
-
For better protection against flu, the CDC recommends people 65 or older get one of the higher-dose flu vaccines, if available.
-
People 65 or older should get 2 doses of the updated 2024– 2025 COVID-19 vaccine, spaced 6 months apart. Consider getting the 2nd dose sooner if you have upcoming travel, life events, and health care visits.
-
Everyone 75 or older, and people ages 60–74 who are at increased risk, should get the RSV vaccine. RSV isn’t an annual vaccine. If you’ve already gotten an RSV vaccine, you don’t need to get another one at this time.
Remember, Medicare drug coverage (Part D) also covers vaccines for shingles, tetanus-diphtheria-whooping cough (TDAP), and more at no cost. Talk with your doctor about which vaccines can help you stay healthy this winter!

CanCare
Emotional Support For Cancer Patients
One on One Cancer Patient Support
Whether you or a loved one is facing a cancer diagnosis, CanCare is here to help!
CanCare can connect you with a trained cancer survivor or cancer caregiver volunteer to listen, provide relatable experience, and offer empathy, encouragement, and guidance through your cancer journey.
CanCare stands apart from traditional psychotherapy or counseling by offering a sense of community. We have a passion for providing one-on-one emotional support with a carefully-matched volunteer caregiver or cancer survivor. These survivors are not licensed therapists, but regular people who have walked the cancer journey. We know how important it is to have someone in your corner that has been where you are.
This kind of support can have positive impacts on both the person who gives and receives support. Volunteers who give support can gain a sense of purpose, self-esteem, and confidence by sharing their knowledge and skills with others. They can also learn from the clients who receive support and enhance their own coping strategies and resilience.
Our clients who receive support can feel less isolated, stigmatized, and hopeless by connecting with others who understand their struggles. They can also access valuable resources and information that can help them overcome their challenges and achieve their goals. We know how important it is to have someone in your corner that has been where you are.

Are you protected against flu, COVID-19 and RSV? It’s important to stay up to date on Medicare-covered vaccines. Vaccines can lower your risk of getting really sick, and their side effects are usually mild and temporary.
Vaccine Finder
Here’s how to stay up to date on your vaccines:
-
For better protection against flu, the CDC recommends people 65 or older get one of the higher-dose flu vaccines, if available.
-
People 65 or older should get 2 doses of the updated 2024– 2025 COVID-19 vaccine, spaced 6 months apart. Consider getting the 2nd dose sooner if you have upcoming travel, life events, and health care visits.
-
Everyone 75 or older, and people ages 60–74 who are at increased risk, should get the RSV vaccine. RSV isn’t an annual vaccine. If you’ve already gotten an RSV vaccine, you don’t need to get another one at this time.
Remember, Medicare drug coverage (Part D) also covers vaccines for shingles, tetanus-diphtheria-whooping cough (TDAP), and more at no cost. Talk with your doctor about which vaccines can help you stay healthy this winter!
