Local health officials are reminding parents that Wednesday is School Exclusion Day in Oregon.  That’s the day children will not be able to attend school or child care if their records on file show missing immunizations.  Hood River County Health Department Director Trish Elliott says across the state, there have been larger numbers of students found behind in their shots.  Both the Hood River County Health Department and North Central Public Health District sent letters to parents to indicate which immunizations their child needs.  COVID-19 vaccines are not mandated for school children.  The hepatitis A vaccine, which protects against a communicable viral infection, is a two-dose series now required for children 18 months through tenth grade.
