Immunization Requirements

Full-time Tennessee college students:

• Measles, Mumps, Rubella –  (2 doses of each, normally given together as MMR): if born on or after January 1, 1957, only.
• Varicella (Chicken Pox) –  (2 doses or credible history of disease): if born on or after January 1, 1980, only.
• Hepatitis B (HBV) – only for health science students expected to have patient contact (before patient contact begins).
• Meningococcal – At a minimum of 1 dose given at 16 years of age or greater if under 22 years of age and living in on-campus housing.
• TB – All students must show evidence of having either a “Low Risk” for carrying TB by filling out the “Low Risk” questionnaire, or proof of no disease by negative TB skin test (<15mm) or Negative Chest X-Ray. The “Low Risk” assessment questionnaire can be found when you log onto your Med+Proctor account.

Minimum ages or dose intervals – Tennessee follows published CDC guidelines. For vaccines with critical minimum age requirements (e.g., MMR, varicella) or minimum dose intervals, doses are considered valid if given up to 4 days before the minimum age or dose interval. Doses administered more than 4 days early are considered invalid and should be repeated as recommended.

Alternative proof of immunity for certain diseases – A positive serology (year of test documented) is acceptable as an alternative to immunization for measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B or varicella. For varicella, documentation of provider-diagnosed varicella (Chicken Pox) or provider-verified credible history of disease given by a parent or guardian also is acceptable. By documenting a history of disease, the provider is asserting that he or she is convinced that the child has had chickenpox.

 All students must show evidence of tuberculosis skin screening or complete a Low-Risk TB assessment which is available to fill out when you log on to your MedProctor account.
