UMB no longer accepts a history of disease as proof of immunity. If you had chickenpox but do not have proof of being vaccinated (2 vaccine dates), you must have a titer performed to document your immunity. If the titer results are negative, you must complete the vaccine series.
All students, excluding Law students, regardless of Hepatitis B immunization status, are required to obtain a titer to establish immunity. Whether the test results are positive or negative, they must be provided to Complio. The lab results are required to fulfill the Hepatitis B Second Action.
If the titer results are negative, the student must repeat the Hepatitis B vaccination series (3 vaccines) and upload each vaccine as they are received. An additional titer should be performed 4-6 weeks after receiving the third and final vaccine, and the final titer result should also be provided to Complio.
No, only a booster vaccine is required. If you have no immunities to all three components of the MMR vaccine, you are required to repeat the series with 2 doses of the MMR vaccine.
If you are pregnant and have missing immunizations based on UMB's requirements, we recommend having titers drawn first. If you are not immune to a specific disease, discuss it with your OBGYN or a Student Health Provider to decide if you should be immunized or wait until delivery. If you and your provider decide to wait until after delivery to receive any immunizations, provide a letter on letterhead from your provider stating their recommendations and the estimated delivery date. Upload the letter to EXXAT and then contact Student Health immediately. EXXAT will not accept the document without clarification from Student Health.
All requests for exemptions/accommodations must be submitted for verification and review through EXXAT.
For religious exemptions, your current exemption is valid; however, you need to provide the previously approved documentation.
For medical exemptions, your previously approved exemption is valid if it is still within the expiration date. Please upload the relevant documentation to EXXAT.
Students enrolled in online-only programs are not subjected to the policy requirements and therefore do not need to create an account or order an immunization package. However, we recommend contacting your school/program administrators or reaching out to UMB Student Health directly to confirm this exemption for online-only students.
Please note that an online-only student refers to a student who exclusively participates in their educational program or schooling through online platforms, without engaging in any in-person activities or field experiences throughout the entire duration of their studies. This means that all components of their educational journey, such as coursework, lectures, assignments, discussions, and assessments, are conducted entirely in a virtual environment, without the need for physical attendance. Online-only students typically do not have any face-to-face interactions with instructors, peers, or administrators, and they do not maintain a physical presence on campus or in other educational settings.
