Vaccines are among the most cost-effective clinical preventive services and are a core component of any preventive services package. Childhood immunization programs provide a very high return on investment.

For example, for each birth cohort vaccinated with the routine immunization schedule (this includes DTap, Td, Hib, Polio, MMR, Hep B, and varicella vaccines), society:

• Saves 33,000 lives
• Prevents 14 million cases of disease
• Reduces direct health care costs by $9.9 billion
• Saves $33.4 billion in indirect costs

Despite progress, approximately 42,000 adults and 300 children in the United States die each year from vaccine-preventable diseases.* Communities with pockets of unvaccinated and under vaccinated populations are at increased risk for outbreaks of vaccine- preventable diseases. In 2008, imported measles resulted in 140 reported cases—nearly a 3-fold increase over the previous year. The emergence of new or replacement strains of vaccine-preventable disease can result in a significant increase in serious illnesses and death.

2015-2016:

Various surveys founds high exemption clusters associated with some of the following:

• Both high and lower socioeconomic status clusters – survey results were

contradictory.

• Lifestyle categorized as “alternative living”, which includes veganism or

vegetarianism, organic gardening, and use of natural healing remedies.

• Sociodemographic composition of the school and surrounding community

also predicted exemption rates. Higher exemption rates were associated with higher proportion of Whites, higher percentage of college graduates, higher median household income, and lower percentage of families in poverty at the census tract, zip code, or school district level.

• More exemptions in rural than in urban school districts, and exemption

rates were higher, and increased faster, among private than public schools.

• Perceptions of information provision and sufficiency were correlated

with exemption preferences. Parents who did not believe that they had enough immunization information were more likely to believe that states should grant exemptions on the basis of religious and personal beliefs and that parents should be allowed to obtain exemptions for their child even if it raised the risk of disease for everyone else. However, evidence was inconsistent regarding access to information.

OAR 333-050-0020, Purpose and Intent (1) The purpose of these rules is to implement Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 433.235 through 433.284, which require evidence of immunization, a medical or nonmedical exemption, or immunity documentation for each child as a condition of attendance in any school or facility, and which require exclusion from school or facility attendance until such requirements are met.

Why Share? Senate Bill 895, passed in 2015, requires schools and child care facilities to have their immunization and exemption rates available at their main offices, on their websites, and for parents on paper

• r electronic format.

When to Share? 30 days after the start of school AND 30 days after Exclusion Day The online sharing of local-level data with the public contributes to transparency in public health by placing information about the risk for vaccine preventable diseases in the hands of parents and communities.

In collaboration with the Oregon Health Authority - Oregon

Immunization Program, promote AFIX (Assessment, Feedback, Incentives and eXchange) a quality improvement program supporting Vaccine for Children providers.

Use local-level vaccination data to identify clusters of low

vaccination coverage, and develop and implement an effective outreach program.

Increase public health messaging focused on adherence to

recommended immunization schedule targeted towards prenatal period and throughout infancy.

Strengthen collaborative partnerships with Washington

County School Districts, School-Based Health Care Centers, and safety net clinics.

Reduce school exclusion orders and nonmedical

exemptions through an increased presence at back to school events and through a targeted media campaign.

As Washington County Public Health (WCPH) continues to address nonmedical exemptions prevalence and trends in Washington County what combination of targeted approaches would have the greatest impact?

As WCPH strengthens and develops partnerships at the state and local-level among policy makers, educational institutions and childcare facilities, non-profit

• rganizations and the public – what partnerships do you

believe would enable us to have the greatest impact on vaccine hesitancy and adherence to the recommended immunization schedules?

Using a health equity lens, are there specific disenfranchised groups WCPH should work closely with

• r organizations we should partner with that are closely

associated with these groups?
