Submit Written Testimony to Support Senate Bill 42

Oregon’s Vaccine Access Program (VAP) is absolutely critical to the health of Oregonians, and right now it is at risk of being significantly underfunded. This kind of massive reduction – currently estimated to be 65-70% of enrolled clinics – will threaten vaccine access statewide and particularly for low-income populations, rural communities, and historically marginalized groups.

Senate Bill 42 would save this critical program. The bill allocates the funding necessary to continue the program and enroll the current waitlist. This bill can have a huge impact on vaccine access - and so can you!
