Any student who does not have up-to-date immunizations by Feb. 15, 2012 will be excluded from school until he/she is properly immunized. Oregon law requires children who attend school to have proper immunizations.

Your child can get immunization shots at your doctor’s office or at the Marion County Health Department.  The Marion County Health Department offers low cost vaccines for those without insurance or on Oregon Health Plan (OHP).  No one who qualifies will be turned away for inability to pay.

Exemptions from immunizations are available for medical or religious reasons.  Contact your health care provider or the Marion County Health Department for more information.

In the event of an outbreak, students who have medical or religious exemptions may be excluded from school for their own protection.

For more information, contact the Marion County Health Department at 503-588-5342 or visit the Oregon Public Health Services web site at www.ohd.hr.state.or.us.
