August is National Immunization Awareness Month
Agosto es el Mes Nacional de la Vacunación
- Before rescheduling any upcoming childhood vaccination or well visit appointments, call your child’s health care provider to find out if the appointment can remain as scheduled and what precautions they are taking to keep everyone safe from COVID-19.
- Many health care providers’ offices are taking special precautions such as ensuring children who are well are kept separate from sick children.
- Many providers are limiting the number of people who can go with a child to their appointment and are taking temperatures of all family members before allowing them into the building.
- Some providers are providing drive-up vaccine programs.
- With so many people out of work and without health insurance, it’s important to know you can still keep your child safe. The Vaccines for Children (VFC) program offers free vaccines to families who cannot afford to pay for their children’s vaccines. Call 211 to find out more about VFC.
- If your children need health insurance, they may be eligible for the Oregon Health Plan (OHP). It is open to all children and teens younger than 19, regardless of immigration status, who meet income and other criteria. Project Access NOW can help! www.projectaccessnow.org/

From the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders
In the U.S., approximately 15 percent of adults over age 18 report trouble hearing. Cloth face coverings obscure facial features, disrupting speech perception and the emotion conveyed by the speaker. As a result, communication suffers, and feelings of stress and isolation may increase.
