According to a press release form the Oregon Health Authority, ”
With the February 21 deadline fast approaching for updating kids vaccinations, the Oregon Immunization Program (OIP) reminds parents and caregivers that children may miss out on school or childcare if their records on file show missing immunizations.
The third Wednesday in February is known as School Exclusion Day. By this day, under state law, all children in public and private schools, preschools, Head Start and certified childcare facilities must submit documentation showing they are up to date on their required immunizations or have an exemption. This year, if a child’s vaccination records do not show up-to-date immunizations by Feb. 21, their school or childcare center will send them home.
