New York State law requires college students to be immunized against measles, mumps and rubella. The law applies to all students born on or after January 1, 1957. Students must show proof of immunity in order to register at Teachers College. Proof of immunity consists of:
*For measles - two doses of live measles vaccine administered after 12 months of age, physical documentation of measles disease, or a blood test showing immunity.
*For mumps - one dose of live mumps vaccine administered after 12 months of age, physical documentation of mumps disease, or a blood test showing immunity.
*For rubella (German measles) - one dose of live rubella vaccine administered after 12 months or after or a blood test showing immunity.
Check your immunization record with your health care provider to be certain you meet these requirements. For further information, contact Dr. Suzanne Nanka-Bruce, Director of Student Life, 128 Main Hall, (212) 678-3406.
