IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS
Please read carefully: To avoid a registration hold placement, we strongly recommend you meet immunizations and TB requirements before you arrive on campus.
You must complete an Immunization Form and a TB Risk Questionnaire by Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2023, at MyHealth portal at myhealth.ucmerced.edu. Visit this page for steps to complete the TB Risk Questionnaire on your portal. Noncompliance with these mandatory requirements will result in a future registration hold. You can find more details about the immunization requirement process here.
There are a number of immunizations that must be completed before classes start:
Required Immunizations
- Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR): Two doses; first dose on or after age 1 - OR - Titer (blood test) showing immunity.
- Varicella (Chickenpox): Two doses; first dose on or after age 1 - OR - Titer (blood test) showing immunity.
- Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis (Tdap): One dose on or after age 7. NOTE: Td/DTaP does NOT satisfy the requirement.
- Meningococcal Conjugate Serogroups A, C, Y, & W-135: One dose on or after age 16 for all students under 22 years of age. Students 22 or older leave blank.
- COVID-19: One dose of J&J or two doses of mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) and one dose of Booster vaccine.
Please check your My Health messages regularly. Once we receive your TB Risk Questionnaire, we will send you a secure message there with instructions about how to proceed if we require additional TB action. If no additional action is required, your TB requirement will be satisfied. If you have questions about immunization or TB requirements, you can visit the Health Center's Immunization FAQ or call the Immunization Line at 209-228-2273 Option 4. You also can send a message to the immunization nurse in the My Health portal. You can find more information on the Student Health Center website at health.ucmerced.edu.
