In 1989, the state of Illinois passed a law requiring college and university students to provide proof of immunity to Tetanus, Diphtheria, Measles, Mumps, and Rubeola. Undergraduates taking 6 hours or more and graduate students taking 5 hours or more at the WIU Macomb or WIU Quad Cities campus must comply with the Illinois Immunization Law. All required immunization information must be submitted and in compliance within the first 10 days of the semester on campus. Failure to do so will result in registration encumbrance and a processing fee.
There is a fee for receiving additional immunizations at Beu Health Center by appointment. For details, please call 309/298-1888."
TD and MMR may be administered together -- if a second MMR is required, student can return in 30 days.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS NEED BOTH second TD & MMR -- both should be administered six weeks after the initial series. If you are not able to present us with proper documentation, we are required by law to re-administer the immunizations.
