There are many issues I tackle in rural Northwest Oregon as the HD32 Rep, but these last few days there has been a great deal of concern over the actions of the Oregon Health Authority and the way they have handled their plan to roll out their Digital Vaccine Record project. I have spent a good deal of time replying to emails from hundreds of citizens throughout the state as well as those within our district. I suspect many of you have the same concerns and I want to share my message with you as well.
I along with my colleagues in the House introduced a bill last session that would have banned the implementation of vaccine passports in Oregon and would have protected the privacy and rights of Oregonians. If you would like to view HB 3407 it can be found here: https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2021R1/Measures/Overview/HB3407
Unfortunately, despite having bipartisan support in the House and Senate, this bill never left committee to be voted on. I believe the choice to get a vaccine is a personal, private choice between an individual and their medical provider, and a vaccine passport is a violation of privacy.
On November 17th, the Oregon Health Authority presented the Digital Vaccine Records Project to the House Interim Committee on COVID-19 Response. You can use this link to view the entire committee hearing. The presentation regarding this topic is in the last 10 minutes of the hearing. https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/mediaplayer/?clientID=4879615486&eventID=2021111017
I reached out to OHA and requested more time for public input and engagement. However, the response I received is not favorable. Per OHA Director Patrick Allen "As there is no policy or rule change of any kind, there is no 'public comment period' per se."
I encourage you, if you have not already contacted the following people, please do:
Director Pat Allen with OHA - Patrick.Allen@dhsoha.state.or.us
OHA Public Health Division director Rachael Banks - Rachael.Banks@dhsoha.state.or.us
OHA Community Engagement - community.covid19@dhsoha.state.or.us
Governor Brown phone# - 503-378-4582
The public can send feedback to the COVID-19 Feedback team:
