Immunizations

In May 1992, the State College Board authorized state-supported universities to require all students enrolling Fall 1993 and after to provide proof of immunity to measles and rubella. Prior enrollment at Mississippi State University does not automatically clear your immunization requirement. If you wish to confirm your status, please contact Longest Student Health Center at 662-325-0706 or the Office of Student Services, Meridian Campus 601-484-0132. This proof consists of one of the following:

• Documented history of two doses of measles vaccine and one of rubella, usually given as MMR (measles, mumps and rubella). The first of these immunizations MUST have been given AFTER 12 months of age and AFTER 1968. Those given before 12 months of age or before 1968 DO NOT count.
• Laboratory evidence (serologic confirmation) of immunity to measles AND rubella.
• Documentation of history of physician diagnosed measles AND rubella.
• The only people exempt from this immunization are those born before January 1, 1957, or those who have documented a significant life-threatening allergic reaction to this particular vaccine.
