About UCLA Immunization Requirements
Compliance, Exceptions, Deadlines & More
The UC Immunization Policy requires all newly-admitted incoming students to provide proof of vaccination or immunity to measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), pertussis (whooping cough), varicella (chickenpox), and screening for tuberculosis, prior to entering and enrolling at the University of California. The meningococcal conjugate vaccine (ACWY) is required for students age 21 and younger.
In addition, newly admitted incoming students must be screened for tuberculosis risk by completing the TB screening section on the Immunization Clearance questionnaire. Students who answer "yes" to any of the TB screening questions are required to submit documentation of a TB test completed within six months before your UCLA entry date. Those with a history of a positive TB test are required to submit documentation of a chest x-ray completed within six months before your UCLA entry date.
Remember: Document Upload is Required!
- All students must submit their information electronically through MyStudentChart.
- Students with a specific program exception should follow the instructions given to them by their program/department.
