We understand that keeping up with immunization requirements can be challenging, and we appreciate your efforts in providing the necessary records. As schools, including MESD Nurses and Health Assistants, work with families to meet state-required immunization guidelines, we want to share how this information is used:
- Immunization dates from records provided by families are entered into Synergy for tracking and compliance purposes.
- These records, including the Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS) form, are securely stored in the student’s cumulative file as part of their education record.
- If a student is not up to date on required immunizations and has not submitted a non-medical exemption, state guidelines require schools to share relevant information with Multnomah County’s Community Immunization Program to support compliance efforts.
- Immunization details are not shared with any outside agencies, including healthcare providers, without permission from a parent or guardian.
Our goal is to support families in navigating these requirements while ensuring that student records are handled with care and confidentiality. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to your school’s health team.
