I am unsure why I received the email
Call the U.Va. Student Health Mumps Hotline (434) 924-1525 to ask if your pre-entrance health form is updated with the required two (2) MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) vaccines. If it is not, follow Medical Records staff instructions.
I have not turned in my health form or immunization record
- All University of Virginia students must obtain their required immunizations, as stated by Virginia state law, and all students are required to turn in their completed pre-entrance health form to Student Health no later than August 1st. Students who do not meet the Virgina state law and University requirements before the end of the grace period (late September) will have a block put on their registration by the University until they meet the requirements.
- To take off the registration block, you need to do one of the following:
a. Complete your pre-entrance health form
b. Obtain your immunization record from your family doctor
c. Receive your MMR vaccine(s)
- The pre-entrance health form and/or immunization record may be

I have signed an exemption form (religious or medical)
- If you currently have a religious or medical exemption, you have an option of receiving a blood test ("titer") which measures mumps antibody levels, and can determine whether you are immune to mumps. Call the U.Va. Mumps Hotline (434) 924-1525 for more information.
- Please note: two cases of mumps (as of 03/10/2008) have been identified in U.Va. students. Although efforts are on-going to minimize exposure, there is always a risk of a larger outbreak on a college campus.
- If you have a medical exemption from mumps vaccination, we urge you to consider consulting with your personal physician or a physician at Student Health to re-evaluate your situation.
