Oregon State Children's Health Insurance
If your children are without health insurance, please go to this website for the state children's health insurance plan, "Healthy Kids".
http://www.oregonhealthykids.gov/
All Oregon children should be eligible for state health insurance;
either the free plan, the insurance pool, or the subsidized employer plan.
Apply online, or call Community Services Consortium at 752-1010 to make an appointment for assistance.
Kindergarten Immunizations
Oregon law requires the following vaccinations for entering kindergarten students:
Dtap 5 doses
Polio 4 doses
Hepatitis B 3 doses
Hepatitis A 2 doses
MMR 2 doses
Varicella 1 dose, or history of having had chicken pox
Proof of vaccination, or a valid exemption, must be on file in the school office before kindergarten students may attend.
Choosing to vaccinate one’s children protects not only them from disease but the entire community—including those who can’t be immunized because of age or medical condition.
