Early this year, a vaccine-preventable measles outbreak infected our Oregon communities, needlessly endangering our children and families. And with nine new measles cases reported since July, our children once again face health risks going back to school with potentially unvaccinated classmates.

The facts are clear: Those who opt out of vaccinating their children for non-medical reasons put others at risk. Your legislators know these facts, but they still chose to kill a bill that would have ended non-medical vaccine exemptions for kids attending school. We can’t accept this.

Join Our Health Oregon in petitioning legislators to remove non-medical vaccine exemptions for kids to attend school. By adding your name, you are showing how important the safety of our children is to ALL Oregonians.

PETITION LETTER

Dear Legislator,

Early this year, a vaccine-preventable measles outbreak infected our Oregon communities, needlessly endangering our children and families. And with nine new measles cases reported since July, our children once again face health risks going back to school with potentially unvaccinated classmates.

The facts are clear: Those who opt out of vaccinating their children for non-medical reasons put others at risk. It is unacceptable to allow this to continue any longer.

I urge you to make the removal of non-medical vaccine exemptions for kids attending school a top priority this coming legislative session. Nothing is more important than the safety of our children and our communities.

Thank you,
