Immunizations
It’s that time of year again! As we prepare for our
kids to go back to school this fall making sure they
are up to date on their immunizations is very import-
ant. Throughout the past 18 months, we have seen a
decline in childhood vaccination rates, not only in
Oregon but the nation.
Making sure our kids are vaccinated is the single most
effective way to assure vaccine-preventable diseases
and outbreaks do not occur, including diseases such
as measles, whooping cough and more! Some illnesses
may present as just a common cold in parents but for
our children could mean devastating lifelong illnesses.
If you have any questions regarding vaccines or to find
out what your child needs, feel free to call your health-
care provider or the health department.
Getting a COVID-19 vaccination can help protect your
child from getting COVID-19, spreading the virus to
others or help keep your child from getting seriously
sick even if they do get COVID-19. At this time, the
Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is the only COVID-19 vaccine
that has been studied and authorized for use by people
ages 12-17 years old. Data from Pfizer vaccine
studies show the vaccine is safe and effective for this
age group. Other vaccine manufacturers are also study-
ing their vaccines in younger age groups but have not
yet received authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration
V-safe, a free, smartphone-based tool that uses text
messaging and web surveys to provide personalized
health check-ins after your child receives a COVID-19
vaccination is a great option. Through v-safe, you can
report any side effects your child may have after
vaccination. V-safe also reminds you to get your child’s
second dose. Ask your healthcare provider or the health
department about the V-safe app.
