Health officials urge parents to
assure children are vaccinated
Parents are understand-
ably nervous about taking
their children and teens to
their doctors’ offices right
now. As a result, children
in Oregon are falling be-
hind on their childhood
vaccinations.
August is National Im-
munization
Awareness
Month and we want to
work with families to en-
sure this pandemic is not
followed by an increase in
cases of vaccine-prevent-
able diseases or a prevent-
able outbreak.
“How students attend
school is changing because
of COVID-19,” says Stacy
de Assis Matthews, school
immunization coordinator
at OHA. “We want to make
sure students are fully vac-
cinated, so they are pro-
tected in whatever form
their school looks like:
in a classroom, in a small
group cohort, or online at
home with their family.”
Families have the power
to protect their children
against serious, poten-
tially life-threatening dis-
eases. Parents should talk
to their child’s doctor or
nurse about whether they
have missed any routine
vaccines.
Before rescheduling any
upcoming childhood vac-
cination or well visit ap-
pointments, call the child’s
health care provider to find
out if the appointment can
remain as scheduled and
what precautions they are
taking to keep everyone
safe from COVID-19.
Many health care pro-
viders’ offices are taking
special precautions such as
ensuring children who are
well are kept separate from
sick children.
Many providers are lim-
iting the number of people
who can go with a child
to their appointment and
are taking temperatures of
all family members before
allowing them into the
building.
Some providers are pro-
viding drive-up vaccine
programs.
With so many people
out of work and without
health insurance, it’s im-
portant to know you can
still keep your child safe.
The Vaccines for Children
(VFC) program offers free
vaccines to families who
cannot afford to pay for
their children’s vaccines.
Call 211 to find out more
about VFC.
If your children need
health insurance, they may
be eligible for the Oregon
Health Plan (OHP). It is
open to all children and
teens younger than 19, re-
gardless of immigration
status, who meet income
and other criteria.
Trained
community
partners across the state
can help you fill out an ap-
plication — It’s free.

munity partners in your
