Immunization

If you were born after December 31, 1956, Connecticut State Law requires that all full-time (degree-seeking and non-degree-non-matriculating) and part-time matriculating students enrolled in post-secondary schools be protected against measles and rubella. Proof includes such documentation as a medical record, a physician's statement, or your elementary or secondary school health record. Exemptions will be granted only:

Students who have graduated from a Connecticut public or non-public high school in 1999 or after are exempt due to new legislation, but they must submit proof of high school graduation prior to registration.

Adequate Immunization

MEASLES : The State Department of Health Services (DHS) requires two doses of measles vaccine to ensure adequate immunization. You must present proof of two doses, the first must have been administered after January 1, 1969, and the second after December 31, 1979 (at least one month apart). You must present documentation of the second vaccination before you will be permitted to register for subsequent semesters.

RUBELLA : (German Measles) One dose of vaccine is considered adequate immunization for all students. You must present documentation of this vaccination before you will be permitted to register. These requirements were instituted by the Connecticut General Assembly and the State Department of Health Services for your protection.
