Children from 5 through 14
years of age entering private
and public schools in Oregon for
the first time this fall w ill have to
be immunized against polio,
measles, rubella, diphtheria,
whooping cough and tetanus
under provisions of a law passed
by the 1973 Legislature.
Sponsored by the State Health
Division and the Oregon Medical
Association, the law is designed
to curb spread of vaccine-pre­
ventable diseases in the close
confines of the classroom where
most epidemics, particularly in
the case of measles, have o ri­
ginated in recent years.
The new law requires parents
to submit to school authorities
proof that their children are im ­
munized against the specified
diseases or that they w ill ar
range for needed immunizations
within 30 days following school
entry
Only medical or religious rea
sons w ill exempt children from
provisions of the law, and school
administrators w ill be required
to deny admittance to children
who do not comply
Children needing immunizat­
ion w ill be referred to their
fam ily physicians or local health
departments, and health depart­
ments w ill be required to fu r­
nish vaccines free of charge The
legislature appropriated $35,000
a year to provide needed vac­
cines to health departments for
the program.
Health officials said the new
law, versions of which are also
in effect in 32 other states and
territories, should help raise im ­
mune levels in the schools over
the years and serve as a re-,
minder to parents that im m uni­
zation should begin when a child
is about two months of age and
should not be put off until school
entry.
The State Health Division
urged parents of children enter­
ing Oregon schools for the first
time, particularly kindergarten
and the first grade, to check with
their physician or health de­
partment to determine whether
their children's immunizations
are adequate to meet the new _
requirements.
