Immunization Requirements
If you were born after 1956, you must comply with the Maine Post-Secondary School Immunization Law before you register for UMM classes. If you were born in or before 1956, you are not required to provide proof of immunization.
If you were born after December 31, 1956, you must submit the following to University Health Services at UMM:
A SIGNED record from a health official showing proof of:
- Tetanus/Diptheria (Td or Tdap) in the last ten years, or Tetanus Toxoid (T) within the last five years.
- TWO Measles/Mumps/Rubella (MMR) after your first birthday
The records must contain the dates (month and year) on which they were given.
Please submit your records with this form.
This is a state law, and we cannot allow you to register for classes until you provide this information.
