Measles, Mumps & Rubella (MMR)
I got individual doses of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella, is that still sufficient?
Yes, as long as each dosage was after your first birthday and you received two dosages of each.
I got the first dosage of MMR before my first birthday, what do I do?
You need to receive a third dose of MMR. A dose given earlier than 4 days before the first birthday does not count as part of the MMR vaccine two-dose series.
Varicella
If I had Chicken Pox as a child does that mean I am cleared for the Varicella requirement?
No, even if you had Chicken Pox as child, you still need to get a titer to prove immunity to the disease.
I only got the titer for Varicella, is that sufficient?
Yes, if the titer is positive, that will satisfy the Varicella immunity requirement.
I got the first dose of Varicella before my first birthday, what do I do?
You need to receive a third dose of Varicella vaccine. A dose given earlier than 4 days before the first birthday does not count as part of the Varicella vaccine two-dose series.
Tdap/ Pertussis
The Tdap vaccine is not offered in my country, what do I do?
If you are unable to obtain Tdap immunization (or any other immunization/blood test) in your home country, schedule an appointment online through The Ashe Center Patient Portal to get your vaccine at The Ashe Center. Choose the option: INCOMING STUDENTS Immunization Requirement.

Do you allow titers for Tdap?
No, we only accept the vaccine on or after the age of 7.
I got Tdap before my 7th birthday, what do I do?
