Immunization Requirement for Measles
According to Oregon law, every entering SOU student born on or after January 1, 1957 and taking at least 9 undergraduate or graduate credits must show proof of immunity to rubeola (hard measles). You may do so if you can document either:
-
Having had measles disease OR
-
Having had two vaccinations against measles on or after your first birthday and at least one month apart OR
-
Having had a second measles vaccination in or after December 1989.
You may have to get a measles vaccination in order to satisfy the Oregon Law requirement. If you do not provide needed proof of immunity to measles you will not be allowed to register for classes at SOU for any term after your first full time term. You may be exempted from this requirement for religious or medical reasons.
You can print the Certificate of Measles Immunization form, complete it and send or bring it in to the Student Health and Wellness Center.
