Tuberculosis Screening Form and Measles Immunization Requirement

All students enrolled half-time or more are required to submit a Tuberculosis Screening Form and dates of Measles Vaccination. New Students will be receiving an email on their Willamette Email Account with Instructions on how to submit the Tuberculosis Screening Form and Measles Immunization Records.

In compliance with Oregon state law, Willamette University requires all half-time or more students born on or after January 1, 1957, to have two doses of the Measles vaccine, show evidence of immunity to measles (Rubeola), or request a medical or non-medical exemption.

*Note: Under Oregon law, the first dose of the Measles vaccine must have been on or after the first birthday and at least 24 days must have passed between the first and second dose.
