Oregon’s Exclusion Day prompts vaccine clinic to keep kids in school and daycare

Wednesday, Feb. 19, is Exclusion Day in Oregon. That means kids who are not up to date on vaccinations will be excluded from school or daycare unless they have an exemption.

Multnomah County is hosting an immunization clinic Wednesday morning from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. for those parents who wish to keep their kids off the exclusion list. The clinic will be for walk-ins only and youth ages 5 to 19. It is free for families, including families whose insurance does not cover immunizations. No ID or insurance is needed.

According to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), letters have been sent to parents, notifying them to update their immunization statuses. OHA wants to remind parents and caregivers that their children may miss out on school or childcare if their records show missing immunizations.
