Reminder: Vaccination Exclusion Day is Coming!
Oregon Law requires all students attending school, preschool, childcare, and Head Start programs to have up-to-date immunizations or a medical/non-medical exemption on file with their school. If your student's required immunization records are not complete by February 25, they cannot attend in-person learning or childcare until we receive documentation showing compliance.
Where to get vaccines:
Immunizations are one of the most effective tools we have to prevent serious, vaccine-preventable diseases. They not only safeguard your student's health but also help keep our classrooms and community healthy and safe.
Your child's pediatrician or Linn County Public Health can schedule an appointment for your child's immunizations. Here's the link to get an appointment with the county health department.
What vaccines does my child need?
Please see the Oregon Health Authority Flyer in English or Spanish below.
Don't forget to turn in your student's updated immunization record or exemption form to the school as soon as possible to ensure your child does not have an interruption to his/her education.
