Feb. 20 is School Exclusion Day and the #Oregon Immunization Program is reminding parents that children will not be able to attend school or child care starting that day if their records on file show missing immunizations. @ORDeptEd
@ORDeptEd Under state law, all children in public and private schools, preschools, Head Start and certified child care facilities must have up-to-date documentation on their #immunizations, or have an exemption.
@ORDeptEd “This year’s School Exclusion Day reminder has taken on added urgency as the Pacific Northwest confronts the worst preventable #measles outbreak in more than two decades,” said Stacy de Assis Matthews, school law coordinator in the OHA Public Health Division.
@ORDeptEd Parents seeking #immunizations for their children should contact their health care provider or local health department, or call @211info —just dial 211 or go to 211info.org.
@211info @ORDeptEd Additional information on school immunizations can be found at the Immunization Program website: healthoregon.org/imm/
