Oregon Road Conditions & Cams Email Story to a Friend February 15, 2006 No shots: no school, county says Kids without up-to-date immunization records will be kept out of school today Youngsters who don’t have records documenting their immunizations will be barred from schools, preschools and day-care centers as of today. The third Wednesday in February is called "Exclusion Day" because state law requires children to have up-to-date immunizations or an appropriate medical or religious exemption on file by that date. The law applies to all public and private elementary and high schools, preschools, Head Start and certified child-care centers. About 39,000 exclusion orders were sent to parents throughout Oregon informing them that children lack shots or the record of them, the state Department of Human Services reported. The number of affected children in Jackson County wasn’t available late Tuesday. Last year, 39,704 exclusion orders were issued and 7,817 children were kept out of school until they could provide documentation that they had received required immunizations. In 2005, the Jackson County Health Department sent 1,179 letters about immunizations. For immunizations, parents can contact their regular health-care provider, the Jackson County public health clinic at 774-8209, or call Oregon SafeNet, a statewide health-information hot line, at 800-723-3638.
