Contributed imageTHE GORGE — Oregon law requires that all children attending public and private schools, pre-schools, Head Start and certified childcare facilities have up-to-date immunization documentation (or an exemption) to remain in school.
The goal is to make sure children are fully protected against vaccine preventable diseases and can go to school in a safe and healthy environment. Immunization is a safe way to help protect your family, your school and your community against disease.
The date for exclusion this year is Wednesday, Feb. 19. On that day, children will not be able to attend school or childcare if their records on file show missing immunizations. Don’t wait until the last minute! We encourage families to get their children’s immunizations up to date as soon as possible.
Each year North Central Public Health District sends a letter to the parents of children who need additional immunizations, indicating what additional immunizations are needed. Letters were mailed to families on Feb. 4.
Please be aware that North Central Public Health District typically receives a large number of clients needing to be immunized the week of school exclusion. Clients are asked to call (541) 506-2600 to set up an appointment, but we will accommodate walk-ins. No child will be turned away from North Central Public Health District due to a parents’ inability to pay for required vaccines.
Parents seeking immunization for their child can also contact their primary care provider, or call 211 for information about where to go in your area. Additional information on school immunizations can be found at the Oregon Immunization Program website at www.healthoregon.org/imm.
For more information, please contact North Central Public Health District at 541-506-2600, visit u www.ncphd.org or facebook.com/NorthCentralPublicHealth/.
