As of today school children who don’t have their vaccination records up-to-date and are missing required immunizations will be sent home or blocked from remote learning. Under the Oregon Immunization Plan children may also be blocked from daycare if they need vaccinations. Health officials say vaccines are the best way to protect against preventable diseases such as measles and mumps. Parents who need to get their children immunized should contact their health care provider, the county health department  or for children over age 7 a local pharmacy.
