Oregon public and private schools must verify that every enrolling student has a current Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS) on file under ORS 433.267. Oregon schools also report immunization and exemption rates to Oregon Health Authority each year — a transparency requirement that parents can look up by school. This page covers which records Oregon law requires, how to retrieve them from ALERT IIS (the state immunization registry), and what happens if records are incomplete at enrollment.

Under ORS 433.267 and OAR 333-050, no child may attend school without a current Certificate of Immunization Status or an approved exemption. The CIS is completed by a licensed healthcare provider or OHA health department.
Oregon's required vaccines on the CIS for K–12 entry:
ALERT IIS (Alert Immunization Information System of Oregon) records doses administered by participating providers across Oregon. Your pediatrician or your OHA county health department can print your child's ALERT IIS record. Parents can also request records through OHA directly.
Your pediatrician completes and signs the Certificate of Immunization Status. Bring the ALERT IIS printout to the visit. If any doses are missing, your provider can administer them and complete the CIS in one appointment. Always ask your pediatrician about your child's health needs.
Turn in the completed CIS to the school office. Oregon schools must have it on file or an approved exemption before a student can attend. Keep a copy for your records.
ALERT IIS is Oregon's statewide immunization information system. Most Oregon providers report doses to ALERT IIS. If your child received vaccines in Oregon at any point, those records are likely in ALERT IIS. Your pediatrician or your county health department can access ALERT IIS and print a record.
For doses given outside Oregon: Out-of-state records do not automatically transfer to ALERT IIS. Bring a signed immunization record from your former provider. Your new Oregon pediatrician can enter those doses into ALERT IIS at the first visit, then complete the CIS.

Oregon requires every school and licensed childcare facility to report its students' immunization and exemption rates to OHA each year. OHA publishes this data publicly by school — parents can look up any Oregon school's immunization coverage rate at oregon.gov/oha. This transparency requirement is unique to Oregon and reflects the state's active monitoring of school-level immunization coverage.
