All incoming students must provide documentation of required immunizations and screening and should consider recommended immunizations.
Required immunizations and screening
Two vaccines each for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) after age one
A blood test to check for immunity (titers) may be provided in lieu of the immunizations. This can be performed at Health Services. The student health plan covers MMR titers but those using a different health plan should check for coverage with their health plan provider.
Meningococcal vaccine
- Menactra, Menveo, MenQuadfi, MCV4, MenACWY, MPSV4) (incoming undergraduate students only)
- This vaccine must be given after the 16th birthday to give students coverage throughout their four years here. If it has been given before the 16th birthday, another dose, after the age of 16, is required.
Tuberculosis Screening
- A PPD skin test or blood test in the past six months is required for those with a positive screening. For example, those who:
- Are born in a high-prevalence country
- Travel for more than two months to a high-prevalence country
- Have contact with active tuberculosis
- Are HIV positive
- Have suppressed immune system from illness or medication (e.g., organ transplant, prednisone treatment)
- Have medical conditions such as diabetes, cancer or kidney failure
- Have a body weight 10% or more below ideal body weight
- Work in prison, nursing home, homeless shelter or hospital
- Work in lab with mycobacteria
- Have history of abnormal chest x-ray
- These tests can be performed at Health Services, but ideally should be done six months or less before coming to school.
- A chest x-ray alone does not meet this requirement. However, for those with a positive TB test an accompanying chest x-ray is also required.
- The student health plan covers tuberculosis blood tests but those using a different health plan should check for coverage with their health plan provider

Providing immunization and screening documentation
Official medical documentation that includes the student’s name and date of birth must be uploaded to the Student Health Portal.
These records must be uploaded in English (originally) or translated by a licensed professional translation service. JR Translation Services is one option for medical translation, but students are welcome to use any licensed service. The name and manufacturer of the vaccine must be included in the translation.
