Sarah Marshall with Mosaic Medical draws up a vaccine during a
COVID-19 vaccination clinic at Bend High School on Thursday.
High school vaccine clinic schedule
This is a list of all the planned high school-based COVID-19 vaccina-
tion clinics in Central Oregon. The first date listed for each school is for
first doses, and the second date is for second doses.
High schoolers ages 16 and older who attend local private schools,
charter schools or alternative/magnet schools can attend the clinic
nearest to them. Every location will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., ex-
cept Sisters, which will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Bend High School: May 20
Mountain View High School: May 25
Crook County High School: May 25
La Pine High School: May 6 and May 27
Summit High School: May 6 and May 27
Redmond High School: May 7 and May 26
Ridgeview High School: May 11 and June 1
Sisters High School: May 13 and June 3
reminded of the reasons why
they’re getting vaccinated.
“Most of us have a natural
instinct to be reluctant to get
poked,” Overstreet said.
Before students left, they
could take a selfie or pose for
a photo in front of a large ban-
ner reading “I Got The Shot”
alongside the a collage of the
Bend High School logo in
many pastel colors.
Thursday morning, across
Ninth Street from the high
school in front of First Presby-
terian Church of Bend, a group
of anti-vaccine protestors were
yelling at students.
Morgan Schmidt, an associ-
ate pastor at First Presbyterian,
said church staff was unaware
that the protesters would park
in their lot, and didn’t con-
done it.
“We support everyone
in their decision to get the
COVID vaccine,” she said. “To
have anti-vaxxers hassling kids
on their way to school is not
who we are.”
Schmidt said she asked the
protesters to move their cars
from the church’s private park-
ing lot, but they refused. She
declined to repeat what the
protesters told her, but she said

FOR RETAINING AND RECRUITING THE BEST TEACHERS
Francisco Guevara arrived
at Bend High School a little
earlier than normal Thursday.
The senior was thrilled — af-
ter many attempts to sign up,
he was finally about to receive
his first dose of the COVID-19
vaccine at a clinic inside the
school’s gym.
“I was so excited,” said Gue-
vara, 18. “Especially since I
work in food service, I was
waiting for it to be my turn.”
Guevara wasn’t the only one
to seize the opportunity. He
said half of his third period
class was absent because they
were in the gym getting vacci-
nated.
“I’m just glad we’re moving
toward a better future with
people being vaccinated,” Gue-
vara said.
From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thurs-
day, Bend High School hosted
the first in a series of volun-
tary vaccine clinics based in
nearly every Central Oregon
high school. The majority of
these clinics — all six in Bend,
Redmond and Sisters — will
be operated by staff from local
health care provider Mosaic
Medical.
The goal of these clinics is
to get as many local teenagers
vaccinated as possible. And
offering vaccines within stu-
dents’ own schools makes it
more accessible, said Albert
Noyes — a clinical pharma-
cist with Mosaic Medical who’s
helping run the high school
vaccine clinics.
“If it’s convenient, they’re
more likely to take advantage
of the opportunity,” he said.
These clinics are starting as
about 5% of the Bend-La Pine
Schools student body is quar-
antining due to being in close
contact with fellow students
who caught COVID-19. In the
past 28 days, 95 students and
staff members in Bend-La Pine
have tested positive, according
to the district.
Newer COVID-19 vari-
ants are more likely to affect
younger people, which is why
this mass effort to vaccinate lo-
cal teens is important, Noyes
said.
“I think it’s excellent timing,”
he said.
Teens are by far the low-
est-vaccinated group in De-
schutes County. As of April 18,
only 4% of residents age 19 or
younger had received a single
dose of the COVID-19 vaccine,
according to county data. The
vaccines are only approved for
those 16 and older.
In comparison, about 25% of
Deschutes County residents in
their early 20s had received a
vaccine dose.
The Bend High School
vaccine clinic, located in the
school’s second gym, looked
like a miniature version of the
large vaccine clinic at the De-
schutes County fairgrounds.
Seven students at a time
could be vaccinated in the par-
titioned vaccination section of
the gym. If students were ner-
vous before receiving their shot,
behavioral health supervisor
Lindsey Overstreet was present
to help calm them down.
Students could be eased by
taking deep breaths, picking
a point on the wall and in-
tently focusing on it, or being
they were hostile.
Schmidt then called the po-
lice, and protesters began to
scatter once officers arrived,
she said.
Before police arrived, church
staff and Bend High School
administrators helped students
who parked in the church lot
cross Ninth Street safely, while
protesters yelled at them.
“For kids to feel at all un-
safe on church property is not
something we’re OK with,”
Schmidt said.
Before the school vaccine
clinics began, Bend-La Pine
School Board members received
hundreds of angry emails from
anti-vaccine activists, said board
member Julie Craig. Most had
the exact same, copy-and-paste
wording, but a few were espe-
cially nasty, she said.
Board member Carrie
McPherson Douglass shared
emails with The Bulletin that
called the school board Nazis
for allowing vaccine clinics in
the schools.
“… if my child is harmed in
anyway I will exact cruel and
inhuman revenge,” one email
stated. “Mothers don’t f***
around. You do not have per-
mission to medicate or vacci-
nate our children without our
permission, you Nazis.”
In the state of Oregon, teens
age 15 and older can agree to
medical services — including
immunization — without pa-
rental consent, according to the
Oregon Health Authority.
During the Bend-La Pine
School Board work session
meeting last week, Craig said
she was furious about these
hostile anti-vaccine emails.
“I’m frankly so done with it,”
she said. “I’m so disappointed
in community members who
feel that is the best way to try
and have a conversation, when
they don’t agree with some-
thing that we’re doing.”
