All students born after 1956, and registered at North Central College for over three credit hours during any term, are required by Illinois law to provide immunization records. A certificate of immunity from a physician or another institution will be accepted in place of the form provided by the College. The document must include the month, day, and year of each immunization, and the signature and telephone number of the health care provider licensed to give immunizations. Failure to comply with the immunization requirements will result in not being able to register for classes. International students need three dates with the last one within the last ten years.
Illinois law requires two rubeola doses, but only one dose each of mumps and rubella.
Illinois disregards any dose received before your first birthday and any dose before 1968. A blood test ordered by a physician that shows you are immune to these three diseases is acceptable. A physician's confirmation of disease history is acceptable for rubeola and mumps, but not for rubella. Before receiving any vaccine, females must advise the physician or nurse when a possibility of pregnancy or an attempt to become pregnant exists. Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine is a live vaccine and is contraindicated during pregnancy.
