Measles Immunization Requirements

All enrolled matriculated students, and all students living in University of Washington residence halls or single-student apartments, are required to provide proof of measles (rubeola) immunity. Students will not be allowed to register for any classes until the Hall Health Primary Care Center confirms that they have satisfied this requirement.

Students born before 1/1/57 are considered immune to measles and therefore do NOT need to submit proof of immunity.

Students must complete the top portion of the Measles Immunity Verification Form and provide either:

  • Certification by their health-care provider on the bottom of the form; OR
  • Attach copies of original immunization records; OR
  • Attach a statement on letterhead stationery from their health care provider as proof of:
    1. Two live virus measles (rubeola) vaccinations, both given after 1/1/68 and after the first birthday; or
    2. Positive measles (rubeola) titer (blood test for antibodies against measles); or
    3. A history of measles (rubeola) disease.

In the event of a measles outbreak on the campus, students who have not previously submitted proof of immunity to measles will be barred from classes, living groups and other campus activities until health officials determine that there is no risk of them transmitting the disease to others.

Measles Immunity Verification Forms are available at Hall Health Primary Care Center and the Registration Office at 225 Schmitz Hall or they may be downloaded from this website.

Students who have questions or concerns about the measles immunity requirement are encouraged to contact the Immunization Clinic at Hall Health well in advance of their registration date.
