If your professional license or certification is not listed, you have been retired more than 5 years, or you choose not to complete the requirements of the Authorization, you must receive delegation to vaccinate (supervision/training) by a supervising health professional with authority to delegate. You can learn more about professionals with authority to vaccinate in the
Vaccinator Categories document. Important note: Not all vaccination sites are able to delegate. Those requiring delegation will be notified of opportunities where they may be engaged as a vaccinator OR if they are needed as non-medical support.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The intent behind delegation is to allow professions outside of the vaccinator scope (e.g., chiropractors, accupuncturists, audiologists, etc.) to be delegated as a vaccinator, increasing the vaccinator workforce in SERV-OR. These volunteers would not be operating outside of their respective scope of practice. Instead, the delegating licensee assumes responsibility for training and oversight of the person (an unlicensed medical assistant) who is delegated authority.
EMS Professionals should review the Emergency Scope Practice Change for EMS Providers in Oregon effective January 14, 2021 regarding approval from their supervising physician to participate in any SERV-OR deployment outside of their jurisdiction.
