3. Proof of Immunization

In accordance with University System of Georgia Board of Regents policy, all entering University of Georgia students born after 1957 are required to submit to the University Health Center a Mandatory Certificate of Immunization form prior to registration for classes.  This form certifies immunity to mumps, measles, and rubella (MMR) and to varicella (chicken pox).  It also certifies that the student has a current tetanus shot.

You should complete the Mandatory Certificate of Immunization form and submit it to the University Health Center well before the start of the semester in which you plan to enroll at UGA. The form should be mailed to this address:

Patient Registration and Health Information
University Health Center
Athens, GA 30602-1755
The form may also be faxed to the Patient Registration and Health Information Office at 706-542-4959.

Please be aware that you will not be permitted to register for classes without having certified your immunization. The University Health Center on the main UGA campus in Athens provides the vaccination; County Health Departments also provide the vaccination.  Contact your local County Health Department for MMR vaccination information.
