| Q |
What Immunizations
are required for students in Health Career Programs? |
| A |
As well as the 2 Measles, 1 Mumps, 1 Rubella and Meningitis vaccine or waiver requirements,
students enrolled in health care programs need to also submit a tuberculin
(PPD test with result) done within the past year, a tetanus immunization
within the last ten years and dates of a Hepatitis B series or a signed notice
of declination. Rubella immunity is required with no exception for age.
Students are also expected to have a complete physical, including immunizations,
by their health care providers prior to participation in their chosen program.
MCC students can receive MMR vaccination/vaccinations in Health Service
or from their private health care provider or from the Monroe County Health
Department. |

| Q |
We have moved several times and I can’t get my immunizations from my school. What should I do? |
| A |
If you have been to another college or in the military, you may request your medical records from them. You may also have a Blood Titer test for Measles, Mumps and Rubella taken by your doctor or a clinic. If the test comes back positive submit the lab results to Health Services and you will have met the requirements. If they are not positive, you will need to receive at least one MMR shot. |

If we have immunizations sent or faxed to Health Services do you call to tell me if you have or have not received them? |

| Q |
My mom has my immunizations in my baby book, is that acceptable proof that I have received them? |
