Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) (Required)
It is required that all college students born after 1956 provide evidence of having received 2 doses of the MMR vaccine. Most young adults have had these before starting elementary school. A blood test to check for immunity is also acceptable if documentation is uncertain or unavailable.
Measles virus causes rash, cough, runny nose, eye irritation and fever. It can lead to pneumonia, brain damage and death.
Mumps virus causes fever, headache, muscle aches and swollen glands. It can lead to deafness, meningitis, painful swelling of the testicles or ovaries, infertility and rarely death. There has recently been a large outbreak of mumps in the Midwestern U.S.*
Rubella (German Measles) virus causes rash, and mild fever. If a woman gets rubella during pregnancy, it can cause severe birth defects and possibly miscarriage.
We offer the MMR vaccine for student at cost.
