Vaccinations for Ukrainians Entering Oregon

With a significant portion of the population of Ukraine displaced, there is concern about the potential for vaccine-preventable disease in people seeking refuge. All the recommended vaccines are listed by age in our catch-up document. Anyone in this population under age 19 is VFC-eligible and adults can receive the recommended vaccines at any of our public, Vaccine Access Providers.
