attendance at public and private schools, preschools, child care

Religious exemptions signed before March 1, 2014 are no longer accepted. Parents will need to submit new proof of immunization or a nonmedical exemption for their children if their nonmedical exemption was signed before March 1, 2014. If parents fail to update this documentation, the child will be reported as "incomplete" or "no record" and may receive an Exclusion Order.
Two doses of Hepatitis A are now required for all children in kindergartens and grades 1-8.
Registering for Kindergarten: When registering a child for kindergarten, families must show
immunization records demonstrating that their child has had the
immunizations required by the state of Oregon. You can request a copy of
those records from your child's physician and then transfer them onto the Oregon CIS Form. Again, the school will not accept a blank CIS Form or one that only has a signature with no dates filled in.
If you're registering in the
spring, you'll have time to schedule the vaccinations before school
begins. Keep in mind, however, that before starting school, you must be able to show that your child has received at least the first
vaccination in any series of vaccinations. Families should schedule the required additional vaccinations as quickly as possible.
Deadline for Full Immunization: At the beginning of each year, per the Oregon Immunization Program, school staff begin reminding parents that children will not be able to attend school or child care starting the 3rd Wednesday in February (2/14/2018) – School Exclusion Day – if their records on file show missing immunizations. The Health Services staff work with schools to make every effort to contact families to remind them of this deadline and provide information about resources that may be available.
Need Help with Immunizations?: Contact your school's health aide for the most current information.
