The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Health Laws require that all full-time college students (12 credits or more), all students attending college while on a visa, and all college students enrolled in Health Sciences (regardless of year of birth) must provide proof of immunizations for the following:

• At least one dose of mumps and rubella vaccines (s) given at or after 12 months of age
• Two doses of live measles vaccine given at least one month apart given at or after 12 months of age (live measles vaccine were distributed after 1968)
• A booster dose of Tetanus/Diphtheria (Td) given within the last ten years
• Three doses of Hepatitis B vaccine

In the case of measles, mumps, rubella, or Hepatitis B, the student may present laboratory proof of immunity. High School immunization documents are acceptable, as well as physicians or clinic records.
