Immunizations

Understanding immunizations

Part of the Medical Services mission is to prevent disease and to keep you healthy. By prioritizing your health, you are more likely to enjoy a successful academic career here at Northern Arizona University. Vaccinations are a simple, safe, and effective way to prevent many diseases that could stop you from attending class or completing your assignments.

Campus Health Services offers a wide variety of immunizations. All are available by appointment with our Immunization Coordinator. During flu season, we also offer pop-up flu shot clinics around campus where appointments are not necessary (see the link to Influenza above). Most insurance plans cover the cost of preventative immunizations.

Immunization requirement – MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella)

To safeguard the health of the NAU population, ALL new and transfer students are required to provide proof of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) – for all students born after December 31, 1956. Before a student can register, they are required to show proof of measles, mumps and rubella vaccinations or a lab test showing proof of immunity to the measles, mumps and rubella. You may obtain a copy of an official immunization record from your health care provider, health department, high school, or previous university. The MMR vaccine is available on a walk-in basis for a fee at Medical Services.
