MMR/TB Immunization Clearance

International students are required to have proof of immunity to Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR). This may be in form of proof of vaccination with MMR vaccine or a blood test (titer) that confirms immunity. Proof of immunity (in English) can be submitted if you recieved these vaccinations in your home country. One dose of MMR is adequate for an adult. Students that are in the health care provider fields are at a higher risk and need documentation of two doses.

Tuberculosis (TB) clearance is also required and can be assessed through a skin test or a blood test. (The blood test is recommended by the Santa Clara County Public Health Department for clients with a history of the BCG vaccine). Note, TB clearance can only be accpeted if conducted within the last year.

TB tests are FREE. TB Blood test, MMR vaccine and MMR titer can be obtained for a fee through the Student Health Services at SJCC. The fees can be reimbursed through filing a claim with the international health insurance provided by the International Student Program.
