Oregon Health Officials Urge Vaccinations
(Portland, OR) -- Fall and winter will bring an increase in flu, COVID and RSV infections. Oregon health officials are urging you to get vaccinated. While they may not keep you from getting sick, they'll help keep you out of the hospital. Three percent of infants younger than six months are hospitalized with RSV. Most of them have no underlying illnesses. They also say parents need to get kids vaccinated against measles. Oregon has dropped below the 95 percent threshold for herd immunity in school-aged children. There have been 31 measles cases this year, and measles can have life-long effects.
