For decades, the science has been clear: routine childhood vaccines save lives. OHSU pediatric infectious disease experts are reaffirming that when vaccine-preventable diseases rise, the impact on our community is real — more hospitalizations, missed school days, and preventable illnesses.

We remain aligned with the American Academy of Pediatrics and West Coast Health Alliance (Oregon Health Authority) in recommending the full immunization schedule. It’s safe, effective, and one of the most powerful ways to protect kids and their families across Oregon.

“We know, based on decades of evidence, that vaccination is a safe and highly effective way to help keep your kids healthy," Dr. Dawn Nolt, division head of pediatric infectious diseases at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Doernbecher Children's Hospital.

✨ Meet Michael ✨ He was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition that destroys the protective coating of nerve cells in the brain. His early diagnosis qualified him for a potentially life-saving treatment: a stem cell cord blood transplant. After chemotherapy to prepare his body, Michael received a cord blood transplant at OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital when he was 4 months old.

Thanks to donations like yours, Michael had access to experts in multiple pediatric specialties during his 200-day hospital stay for treatment of a rare genetic condition.

A slam dunk kind of day at the hospital. 🏀✨

The Portland Trail Blazers stopped by to share laughs, hand out high-fives and create moments our patients won’t soon forget. For kids facing tough days in the hospital, this visit was a powerful reminder that they’re strong, supported — and never fighting alone. Thank you Portland Trail Blazers for bringing unforgettable moments to our patients. ❤️
