Measles / Mumps Requirement
The University of Oregon requires that all entering college students provide proof of measles (rubeola) and mumps immunity or an acceptable form of exemption. Without this information a hold will be placed on registration the term after a student enters the University.
You must meet one of the following six guidelines to assure that you are in compliance with the requirement:
- Measles and Mumps Vaccines: All entering college students born on or after January 1, 1957 are required to show proof of receiving two doses of both measles (rubeola) and mumps vaccine, or two doses of MMR vaccine on or after their first birthday. A measles (rubeola) and mumps booster (or MMR booster) is required for students who received only one dose. Print and fill out the Measles/Mumps Immunization Certificate, attach a copy of your immunization records, and mail, fax, or bring it to the University Health Center. Be sure to include your full name, date of birth, and student ID number on the form. If immunization information is not available or you do not know your immunization status, the necessary vaccine is available at the University Health Center for a fee.
- A documented history of measles (rubeola) and mumps disease(s): Have your health care provider fill out the medical exemption statement (on the Measles/Mumps Immunization Certificate), and mail, fax or bring it to the University Health Center.
- Born before 1957: Please notify the measles/mumps coordinator at the University Health Center (541) 346-2764.
- Blood (titer) tests which shows immunity to measles (rubeola) and mumps: Have your health care provider complete the medical exemption statement on the Measles/Mumps Immunization Certificate, attach a copy of the titer test results, and return to the University Health Center. (Titer tests are available at the University Health Center for a fee.) Be aware that titer results can take several days.
- Medical exemptions: Have your health care provider complete and sign the medical exemption statement on the Measles/Mumps Immunization Certificate and return it to the University Health Center.
- Religious exemption forms are available at the Health Center. If exposure to a measles or mumps case occurs, you could be excluded from campus for 14 days (incubation period) if you do not have documentation of measles (rubeola) or mumps immunity.
