New guidelines: School immunizations By Marline Groshong RN Yes, it's that time again. School will be back in session before you know it and our little one's must be vaccinated. The State of Oregon has new guide lines and children from kindergarten on up need to have at least the first Hepatitis B injection and varicella (chicken pox). Children at least four years' old must have their second Measles, Mumps and Rubella immunizations. The Grand Ronde Health and Wellness Center does not have the capabil ity to store varicella, it must be obtained from another provider's office or through the health department. However, on July 20 from 1-4 p.m. we will be giving vaccinations at the clinic. No appointment is necessary during those hours. Thank you and have a safe and fun summer.
