Immunity Verification Requirement
To protect the health and safety of our students, faculty, academic personnel, staff, and broader community, the University of Washington requires all students to be vaccinated against Measles, Mumps, and Meningitis Meningococcal ACWY, with certain exemptions allowed.
If these requirements are not met, students will not be able to register for classes. Students are responsible for their own immunizations and requirements, and must submit documents themselves. The IVP does not have access to UW Medicine or Husky Health Center internal documents. This means that receiving vaccinations at Husky Health Center will not automatically be put into the documents to be verified. Students must receive documentation and submit their documents themselves.
New and incoming students should be able to find their UW NetID and UW Student ID before submitting their documents.
Knowingly furnishing false information to any University official violates the Student Conduct Code under WAC 478-121-110.
The Immunity Verification Program will process student records within 1-2 business days, and possibly longer during busier times.

Measles and Mumps
Measles and Mumps Requirements
Students must satisfy the Measles and Mumps requirement by showing proof of:
- two MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) that must be taken after the student’s first birthday and taken at least 28 days apart
- OR two Measles and two Mumps vaccines that must be taken after the student’s first birthday and taken at least 28 days apart
- OR positive Measles (Rubeola) and Mumps IgG titers, which are blood tests to test immunity.
To fulfill the requirements, Measles and Mumps vaccines and/or titers must meet the following conditions:
- The length of time between an MMR vaccine dose and a titer test must also be at least 28 days.
- If a student takes a titer test and the titer test is not positive, the student will need to receive an MMR vaccine. After 28 days, the student can receive a second MMR vaccine or a second titer test. If the results of second titers are still not positive, the student will need to receive a second MMR.
- We require two Measles and two Mumps vaccinations, which can either be done individually or by two MMR vaccines. We will also accept positive Measles and positive Mumps titer test results instead of the vaccinations.
- Adults above the age of 50 should discuss their MMR requirements with their medical care team, as there may be some risks involved. To satisfy the requirement, students may also request a Measles and Mumps titer test, or an exemption from the requirement.
Students who were born before 1957, non-matriculated students, students in a fully online program, students who are only enrolled for one quarter, and students who are in the Health Sciences Immunization Program do not need to fulfill the Measles and Mumps requirement.
Accepted versions of the Measles and Mumps vaccines are:
- ME (Measles)
- MR (Measles-Rubella)
- MV (Measles-Varicella)
- MM (Measles-Mumps)
- Mumps
- MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella)
- MMRV (Measles-Mumps-Rubella-Varicella)
- Priorix (Measles-Mumps-Rubella)
- Tresivac (Measles-Mumps-Rubella)
Unaccepted versions of the Measles and Mumps vaccines are:
- Trimovax
Where can I get my Measles and Mumps vaccines?
Here are a few nearby locations for each campus:
If one clinic or pharmacy does not have the vaccine or appointments, you’re welcome to find another.
I don’t have my childhood Measles and Mumps (MMR) records. What do I do?
If a student does not have their Measles and Mumps records but believes they had their vaccinations, the student can request Measles and Mumps titers (blood immunity tests) at most clinics or laboratories. The IVP accepts only positive titers, not negative or equivocal, as positive titers show that you have immunity to Measles and/or Mumps.
I have proof of one MMR vaccine but the other one is lost to time. Do I still need to receive two MMRs?
As long as we have proof of one MMR vaccine, we only need proof of a second MMR vaccine. You can either receive another MMR vaccine or receive a titer test to see if you have positive immunity to Measles and Mumps. If the titer test is negative, we will request that you receive another MMR vaccine regardless. You do not need to start the whole series over.
My titer test results were negative or equivocal. What do I do?
If either or both of a students’ Measles and Mumps titer test results are negative or equivocal, the student should take an MMR vaccine, and then wait at least 28 days and take a second MMR vaccine or a second titer test. If the student takes a second titer test and receives a result that is not positive, they will need to take another MMR vaccine.
What is the difference between Rubella and Rubeola?
Rubeola is the medical word for Measles. Rubella is the medical word for German Measles. The IVP requires the Rubeola titer test, but not the Rubella titer test. Students must submit the Rubeola (Measles) and Mumps results, and do not need to submit the Rubella titer test.
Upload your documents into Med+Proctor.
To learn more, review the Center of Disease Control’s information about Measles, Mumps, and the MMR vaccine.
Meningitis ACWY
Meningitis ACWY Requirement
Students ages 16 through 21 musty satisfy the Meningitis ACWY requirement by showing proof of:
- a Meningitis ACWY (meningococcal conjugate) vaccine taken on or after the students’ 16th birthday.
To fulfill the requirements, the Meningitis ACWY vaccine must meet the following conditions:
- The Meningitis ACWY vaccine must be received when the student was 16 or older, even if the student previously received a Meningitis ACWY vaccine when the student was 11 to 14.
- If students cannot receive the correct Meningitis ACWY in their current location or home country, they will need to receive it when they arrive in the United States.
- The University of Washington does not accept Meningitis B vaccines in place of the ACWY variant.
- Students under the age of 16 are not required to fulfill the requirement until their 16th birthday, and students turning 22 during their first quarter at the UW will not be required to fulfill the requirement.
Accepted versions of the Meningitis ACWY vaccine are:
- Menveo
- Menactra
- MenQuadFi
- Nimenrix
- Penbraya (Meningitis ABCWY)
- MCV4 (Generic)
Unaccepted versions of the Meningitis ACWY vaccine are:
- Meningitis polysaccharide (MPSV4) vaccines
- Menmune
- Mencevax
- MenHibRix
- NeisVac-C
- Menjugate Kit
- Meningitec
- MenAfriVac
- Formening
- Menivax
- Generic MCV4 from China (but generic MCV4 from HongKong or Taiwan are acceptable)
- Meningococcal AC Polysaccharide (Non-US) – Please make sure that you ask your clinic/pharmacy to write down which specific vaccine you received
I had the Meningitis A, AC, B, or C vaccine. Does that satisfy the requirement?
Students are required to receive the Meningitis ACWY vaccine. The Meningitis A, AC, B, or C vaccines will not satisfy the requirements.
Why wasn’t my meningitis polysaccharide (MSPVC) accepted?
The IVP cannot accept polysaccharides, as they are less effective against Meningitis than conjugate vaccines.
Where can I get my Meningitis ACWY vaccines?
Here are a few nearby locations for each campus:
If one clinic or pharmacy does not have the vaccine or appointments, you’re welcome to find another.
Students in the Health Sciences Immunization Program need to submit proof of Meningitis ACWY vaccination to Med+Proctor if they are under the age of 22. For all other immunization requirements related to your program, please submit documents through CastleBranch. Your program will send you an email with your CastleBranch account information before your first quarter.
To learn more, here is the Center of Disease Control’s information about Meningococcal and the Meningitis ACWY vaccine.
Medically-Informed Exemption
Exemptions
Students may request the Medically-Informed Exemption Form to all or part of the Measles, Mumps, and Meningitis ACWY vaccination requirement. Exemptions must be reviewed and signed by a medical professional. Students will need to complete this process even if they previously had an immunization exemption at another school, or had one as a child and are now an adult. If there is an outbreak of Measles, Mumps, or Meningitis ACWY, the student with an exemption may be asked to leave the campus during the outbreak.
Registration Blocks
Deadlines and Registration Blocks
Immunizations are required 3 weeks into your first quarter, except for Summer quarter, when they are due at the beginning of Autumn quarter. If students do not fulfill the requirement by the deadline listed, they may have a registration block for the next registration period. The IVP can offer brief one-time extensions, but encourage students to fulfill the requirements well before the deadline to avoid a delay. For more information about deadlines and immunization events, please refer to our Calendar of Events page.
| Entering Quarter | Deadline | Registration Block |
| Summer 2024 | September 11, 2024 | September 25, 2024 |
| Autumn 2024 | October 17, 2024 | October 31, 2024 |
| Winter 2025 | January 30, 2025 | February 13, 2025 |
What should I do if I have a registration hold?
Students who have not met the Measles, Mumps, and Meningitis requirements will not be able to register for their second quarter. Students must fulfill the requirements in order to release the registration block. While the IVP understands that a registration block is a significant disruption for students, the IVP’s priority is protecting the UW community from infectious diseases like Measles, Mumps, and Meningitis.
If a student is still having trouble satisfying their requirements, please contact us at immunity@uw.edu.
Can I come to Husky Health Center or the Registrar’s Office to release my registration hold?
No, students cannot come to the Husky Health Center or the Registrar’s Office to release their registration hold. Please contact the Immunization Verification Program at immunity@uw.edu or 206-616-4672, and we will be happy to help.
Husky Health is able to accept walk-ins at this time. If a student is looking to receive immunizations, please contact 206-616-2495 to make an appointment or call ahead. Husky Health staff are not able to address registration holds or uploaded immunization documents sent through the portal. Managing this requirement is an administrative responsibility led by the Immunity Verification Program.
How do I get a temporary extension for Measles, Mumps, and/or Meningitis ACWY requirements?
Students should contact the IVP to request a temporary extension. The IVP can offer 40 days as an extension, or until the next registration period, whichever comes soonest.
If a student tries to register during their registration period but before the deadline in the Upcoming Registration Block, like the image below, the student will be able to register.
Documentation Requirements
Documentation Requirements
All documents must show:
- the student’s name on every document
- the student’s date of birth
- vaccination date and vaccine type

Washington State Immunization Information Service (WAIIS) Records
WAIIS Verification
If students have received vaccines in the state of Washington, the Washington State Immunization Information System (WAIIS) may contain their immunization records. Students may authorize UW to query WAIIS for these records by updating their Consent for Immunization Record Query. The Immunity Verification Program does not recheck WAIIS records after the first time students have submitted their consent. If a student has received another immunization recently and wants the IVP to review their record again, they will need to contact the program.
Your screen will show you this after you’ve confirmed your choice:
The IVP will process students’ WAIIS immunizations within 24 hours of receiving them. If students would like the IVP to review their WAIIS account sooner, students should forward the confirmation email they receive from the Registrar’s office.
Resources for Finding Old/Childhood Immunization Records
Students should check with their primary care provider for the students’ vaccinations, or any organization where they received vaccinations.
Students can also check with their state or country department of health. For vaccinations taken in Washington state, students can use the website MyIR. For students who had vaccinations in other states, please find your state’s immunization database on this State Immunization Registries document. For students who received your vaccinations outside of the United States, please receive your immunization documents from your primary physician.
Students from Washington state can give consent to authorize UW to access their state immunization records. The IVP will process students’ WAIIS immunizations within 24 hours of receiving them. If students would like the IVP to review their WAIIS account sooner, student should forward the confirmation email they receive from the Registrar’s office.
Suggested places to check for old immunization records:
- Immunization records from previous clinics or providers
- Pharmacy prescription documents for vaccinations
- Previous employers* (employee health records) including military*
- College or other post-secondary institutions* (K-12 records that are not provider-verified are not accepted)
- Department of Health
- Provider-verified immunization booklet
- A facility stamp or provider signature is required next to each recorded vaccine dose. Unverified records should be taken to students’ provider or local public health clinic and documented in an official medical record or state immunization registry.
- Additional Tips for Locating Old Immunization Records
I don’t have my childhood Measles and Mumps (MMR) records. What do I do?
If a student does not have their Measles and Mumps records but believes they had their vaccinations, the student can request Measles and Mumps titers (blood immunity tests) at most clinics or laboratories. The IVP accepts only positive titers, not negative or equivocal, as positive titers show that you have immunity to Measles and/or Mumps.
Resources for Receiving Vaccines and Titers
Where can I get my vaccines?
Here are a few nearby locations for each campus:
Resources for Finding Vaccines
All required vaccines can be obtained through the following healthcare resources:

Information about Insurance
The Immunity Verification Program is not responsible for students’ insurance or covering vaccines or titer tests, although we do recommend it.
If a student is looking for locations on or near the three UW campuses that offer vaccinations or titer tests, the student can look through the following links to find a suitable option. The student should contact clinics directly regarding their sliding scale or financial assistance options, as well as their insurance. When a student requests financial assistance, they should be ready with medical and tax information.
If a student is interested in having insurance but does not know how to get started, the student can make use of Husky Health’s Insurance and Cost explanation, which explains insurance options and how to apply.
To speak with an insurance navigator, someone who can help you get enrolled and answer your questions, students can reach out to the agents on the Washington Health Plan Finder website. They can also find support by enrolling through insurance brokers.
Seattle students can call Husky Health Center at 206-616-2495 to make an appointment with an insurance navigator; Tacoma students can call Tacoma Office of Student Advocacy and Support at 253-692-5934. There are no current options for Bothell students specifically, but students are welcome to research through the WA Health Plan Finder.
