Law Change for Immunization

The leaves are changing and so is the immunization law; so immunize early and avoid the crowd. Nearly every place in Oregon that provides care for a child outside the home requires immunizations or an exemption to stay enrolled.

Lane County Public Health encourages parents to immunize their students early; before the February 18, 2015 exclusion date. Early preparation is particularly important this year due to law changes and additional steps in the exemption process.

Please contact your medical provider to ensure your child is up-to-date on their vaccines, schedule an appointment, or ask questions about the non-medical exemption law changes. You can also contact Lane County Public Health at (541) 682-4041 for an immunization appointment.

If you are interested in obtaining your minor child’s immunization record contact the ALERT IIS Help Desk at 800-980-9431 or alertiis@state.or.us.
