Immunizations
Oklahoma
State Senate Bill 787, affecting all public and private colleges and universities,
mandates that students show proof of immunization for Hepatitis B (series
of 3 injections) and MMR (measles, mumps, rubella-series of 2). Also,
all new students in campus housing will be required to sign a waiver of
informed refusal or be vaccinated for meningitis.
The Oklahoma Christian University Board of Trustees passed a resolution that exempts students who meet any of the following conditions from providing the documentation from a physician demonstrating compliance with the requirements for vaccination regarding hepatitis B, mumps, measles or rubella (MMR):
- Students graduating from Oklahoma high schools beginning with May 2003 graduates
- Full or part-time students who graduated from high schools in other states with immunization laws similar to Oklahoma 's law regarding the diseases specified in Senate Bill 787
- Concurrently enrolled high school students
- Students transferring from another Oklahoma college or university after fall 2004
- Non-degree seeking students and students provisionally admitted (students taking 9 credit hours or less)
- Students who are active or reserve military
- Adult students born before 1956 are exempt from the MMR only
- Students enrolled in Higher Education Centers and other learning sites authorized by the Oklahoma State Regents (Training Centers, Downtown Consortium, Business outreach classes and Technology Centers)
