Parents may be wondering if their children can be exempted from receiving certain immunizations for medical conditions or religious reasons.
In Oregon, yes.
There is a vaccine waiver to decline to note and receive vaccines that is part of public school registration. For instance, a waiver with the Salem-Keizer public school system you simply signs box C under exemption, no questions asked:
