MMR Immunization Requirement

MMR Vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) – two doses given after your first birthday. These are both usually given by age five. This can also be met by proof of two measles immunizations:

• one mumps immunization and one rubella immunization
  or
• Proof of immunity by blood titers tests (done at any time) for Measles, Mumps and Rubella. 

Meningococcal (Meningitis) Immunization Requirement

Review information about Meningococcal and then make an informed decision either to decline this vaccine or to show proof of vaccine(s):

1. To decline the Meningococcal immunization, login to the portal to complete the required form:
1. Go to the Medical Clearances tab.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page.
3. Click clearance exemptions.
4. Select Meningococcal ACWY or B.
5. Complete the waiver.
6. Upload to the portal.
7. Please note: Declining this vaccine ensures compliance with NYS Public Health Law but does not stop you from getting the vaccine at a later date. Students may elect to receive the vaccine at any time in the future through their healthcare provider, the Monroe County Department of Health Immunization clinic or at a local pharmacy.
2. To show proof, login to the portal:
• Meningococcal ACWY (i.e., Menactra, Menveo or MenQuadfi) vaccine within the last five years
  or
• Meningococcal B (i.e., Bexsero or Trumenba), two dose series at any time.
• Please note: Look carefully at the dates of these vaccines because the most common reason students remain in "non-compliance" after submitting records is because their vaccine is over five years old &/or they only have had one Meningococcal B vaccine. If you experience any issues when attempting to upload forms, please contact the office for assistance.
