Doping states in the copper oxides are investigated in a two-dimensional, three-band Peierls-Hubbard model. We consider displacements of planar O atoms along the Cu-O bonds, and focus on intersite electron-phonon interactions modifying the hopping integral between the Cu and O orbitals. Hartree-Fock configurations of polaronic states in the antiferromagnetic background are sensitively affected by weak electron-phonon interaction. Vibronic and optical excitation spectra, obtained with the random phase approximation, contain doping-induced structures caused by excitation modes localized around the polarons. A dimensionless strength of the electron-phonon interaction is deduced from a comparison with recent generalized inhomogeneous LDA calculations. The nature of doping states is quite different from that described within purely electronic, Hubbard and t-J models.
