MC Health Department to prov ide
no-cost Tdap immunization
B eginning im m e
diately, M orrow C ounty
Health Department is pro
viding no-cost Tdap (teta
nus, diphtheria, acellular
pertussis) immunization to
anyone age 10 through 64.
A d o le s c e n ts and
adults should receive a sin
gle dose o f Tdap to replace
a single dose o f TD for
booster immunization. The
vaccine is available during
regular walk-in immuniza
tion clinic hours. The Tdap
vaccine promotion is made
possible by the Oregon Im
munization Program to help
reduce the in cid en ce o f
Pertussis (also known as
whooping cough).
In the last several
years, four babies in Oregon
have died from Pertussis
disease. “The importance
o f im m unizations cannot
be underestimated when we
have children dying from
preventable diseases,” said
Shelley Wight.
With the ability of
no-cost Tdap im m uniza
tion, Public Health hopes to
prevent further disease and
deaths. Beginning in Sep
tember 2008, a dose of Tdap
vaccine will be required for
most O regon 7,h graders.
Public Health officials hope
the no-cost immunization
will encourage parents to
im m unize th e ir children
early, before the February
exclusion date. It’s impor
tant to update your child's
school records w ith any new
immunizations received.
The most common
sources o f Pertussis in chil
dren are c areg iv e rs and
loved ones: parents, grand
parents, siblings, daycare
workers, health profession
als, and teachers often carry
the disease, and don't realize
they are passing it on to chil
dren. For more information
contact the Heppner Clinic
at 676-5421 or the Board-
man Clinic at 481-4200.
