What are the immunization requirements?
With a commitment to the health and safety of all members of our campus community, Evergreen has implemented a policy regarding proof of measles (Rubeola) immunity for all new students. All students must provide a copy of their medical or immunization record showing two doses of Measles (Rubeola) vaccine (usually referred to as the “MMR vaccine”). The doses must have been given after 1/1/68, given at least 30 days apart, and on or after 12 months of age. Measles continue to have a presence in the United States, affecting primarily young adults. There have been twelve confirmed cases of Measles in King County this year. Between 1989-1991, there were 352 cases of Measles, two of which resulted in death. Both cases involved individuals in their early thirties. Since 1995 there have been three Measles outbreaks on college campus’: two in western Washington and one in Vancouver, British Columbia. All of these had a tremendous impact on the students, faculty and staff of these institutions.
