Immunization requirements
All students enrolled in a Minnesota college or university for more
than one course must provide dates of immunization against measles,
rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus on the required form. Students
must have two doses of MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) after their first
birthday and have a DT (diphtheria tetanus) booster within ten years
of first registering at the University. The immunization
form must include month and year of each immunization. Immunizations
are not required if the student submits a statement signed by a physician
showing that:
-
for medical reasons, the student did not receive an immunization;
or
-
the student has experienced the natural disease against which the
immunization protects; or
-
a laboratory has confirmed the presence of adequate immunity; or
-
the student submits a notarized statement that the student has
not been immunized as required because of the students conscientiously
held beliefs; or
-
the student was born before 1957.
All students, except those graduating from a Minnesota state high school,
must complete an immunization
form (even those with the above exemptions) and return it to the
UMD Health Services.
