Two MMRs?

have received two MMR shots. If you would like to enroll
full-time at any point with the university, you will have to
provide verification of these shots.
Will a MMR hold keep me from registering?

registering, but it will not allow you to register full-time with
the university. An undergraduate student will only be allowed

What If I am Unable to Find Proof that I have
received these Vaccinations?
In the event that you are unable to find
your immunization records. You have a couple of
options.
- First, if you are uncertain as to whether you have received these vaccinations or not, you can simply get an MMR shot.
- Second, if you are confident that you have received both of these vaccinations, you can get a titer drawn. A Titer is a blood draw that tests whether your body is immune to measles, mumps, and rubella.
Both MMR vaccinations and MMR titers are available in the ETSU Student Health Clinic for a fee.
Note: Please keep in mind that if you have a titer drawn and your body does not have immunity to all three of those diseases, then you will have to pay the additional money to purchase the vaccination.
I recently submitted my immunization records for my
academic department to meet my program requirements, will this
meet my university requirements as well?
NO, in addition to meeting your program requirements you will have
to provide proof of two MMRs to the ETSU Student Health Clinic to
meet university regulation as well. Because a record is
submitted to one office, it cannot be assumed that it will be
processed in another office.
