- Documentation of immunity under SBHE Policy 506.1 means: (a) evidence of two doses of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine no less than one month apart from a licensed physician or authorized representative of a state or local health department; (b) proof of a positive serologic test for measles, mumps, and rubella; or (c) proof of date of birth prior to 1957.
- Students enrolled only in distance learning courses, courses taught off campus, continuing education or noncredit courses, and students in attendance at camps, workshops or programs and classes delivered under contract to a third party are exempt from this policy. Campuses shall grant additional exemptions upon application to and approval by the authorized institution official, under established campus procedures, when: (a) immunization is contraindicated by illness, pregnancy, allergies, or other medical condition certified by a licensed physician; (b) the student has had one immunization and agrees to have a second one no less than one month later; or (c) the student's beliefs preclude participation in an immunization program.
- Each institution shall develop and implement procedures to insure that all students subject to this policy provide the required documentation of immunity. The procedures shall include but are not limited to an intensive education effort to inform students of the policy and the need for immunization, the provision of access to immunization through clinics, the campus health service, or the county health office, and the development of a tracking system to facilitate the identification of students who are immunized and those who are not.
