Oregon law requires that all K-12 students as well as day care/child care attendees are up to date with specific vaccine series based on their age or grade. Students who are not up to date (or do not have an exemption) by February 21, 2024, will not be able to attend their school or day care until they are up to date or have a valid exemption.
