Measles Immunization Requirement
Measles (Rubeola) can be a serious and life-threatening illness. As a public health measure for the safety of all members of our campus community Evergreen has adopted the following immunization requirement using guidelines and recommendations provided by the U.S. Center for Disease Control, the American College Health Association and state and local public health departments.
This requirement applies to all new undergraduate and graduate students. To meet the requirement, upload your documentation to Health eConnect located on My Evergreen.
- Option 1: Documentation that you have had 2 Measles (Rubeola) vaccines since 1969.
- Option 2: Documentation that you have had the disease of Measles (Rubeola).
- Option 3: Documentation that you have had a positive Measles (Rubeola) antibody test (Titer).
- Option 4: For a medical or religious reason, you may sign the Measles Waiver (PDF).
All students born after 1956 must submit documentation of immunity to Measles (Rubeola).
If you have signed the waiver and a Measles outbreak occurs, you will be asked to leave campus for a minimum of two weeks from the time of the last diagnosed case, resulting in missed classes, coursework and compensation from work.
Finding My Records
If you grew up in Washington state or have received healthcare services in this state, your immunization records may have been added to the Washington Immunization Information System (WA-IIS) through the Washington Department of Health website. You may sign up for a MyIR account which will allow you to view a report of all immunizations entered on your behalf.
if you think you have records from another state, This list of all state contacts may be helpful to you.
Request immunization records from your current or former primary care provider(s). If you’ve had an employer require immunizations, you should be able to request a copy. Immunization records are often located in parents’/guardians’ records. Previous schools may also have a copy of your immunization records.
Forms Processing
Student Wellness Services will make every effort to process forms/uploads within 24-48 hours or as soon possible. We will only contact you if there is a problem with your form and/or documentation.
If you have additional questions, call us at (360) 867-6200 during open hours.
