Health History, Immunization And Tuberculosis Information

Each new student must fill out an online Health History form and complete the Immunization form. These forms must be completed before arrival at school.

In order to complete the forms, you may need to collect medical information from your family and physician. Immunization records are usually available through high schools. The information on the Health History form will become part of the student’s permanent medical record. It is strictly confidential.

Required of each student:

  • Completion of the online Health History and the Immunization form.
  • M.M.R. (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) immunization. Two doses required at least 28 days apart and after 12 months of age. Alternatively, an MMR lab (Titer) report indicating immunity satisfies the measles requirement. For additional information see Oregon law 333-050-0130.
  • Tuberculosis screening is required if you meet either of the following criteria: you were born in a country with a high incidence of tuberculosis disease; or in the last five years you lived in, traveled to, or emigrated from a country with a high incidence of tuberculosis disease. For a list of countries with high incidence of tuberculosis disease click here.

Note: In accordance with Oregon law, Lewis & Clark College requires all full time students to have two doses of MMR (measles, mumps and Rubella) vaccine administered at least 28 days apart and after the student is 12 months of age. Students who do not meet the Oregon law requirements may experience registration holds or cancellations.
