School Exclusion Day is on February 21st. Don't Let Your Child Get Left Behind!
Children will not be able to attend school starting Wednesday, February 21st if their records on file show missing immunizations.
Immunizations are the most effective way to stop the spread of measles and other diseases, to keep communities healthy and safe.
In Oregon if a child’s school or child care vaccination records are not up to date by Feb. 21, the child will be sent home if they don’t have an exemption.
Last year, more than 5,000 children were kept out of school or child care until the necessary immunization information was turned in to the schools or child care facilities. Local health departments will mail reminder letters to parents by Feb. 1.
