Immunization Compliance Form

Louisiana Law (R.S. 17:170.1/Schools of Higher Learning) requires all students entering River Parishes Community College to be immunized for the following: Measles (2 doses), Mumps, Rubella – required for those born on or after January 1, 1957; Tetanus-Diptheria (within the past 10 years); and against Meningococcal disease (Meningitis). The guidelines below are for the purpose of implementing the requirements of Louisiana R.S. 17:170.1. The guidelines will help meet the established recommendations for control of vaccine-preventable diseases as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to the United States Public Health Service (ACIP), and the American College Health Association (ACHA). Students not meeting the MMR & TD requirement will be prevented from registering for subsequent semesters. The registration of these students will not be completed until they have compiled with the meningococcal vaccination requirement.

  • Measles Requirement: Two (2) doses of live vaccine given at any age, except that the vaccine must have been given on or after the first birthday, in 1968 or later, and without Immune Globulin. A second dose of measles vaccine must meet this same requirement, but should not have been given within 30 days of the first dose. A history of physician-diagnosed measles is acceptable for establishing immunity, but should be accepted with caution unless your were the diagnosing physician.
  • Rubella and Mumps Requirement: At least one (1) dose each of rubella and mumps vaccine
  • Tetanus-Diptheria Requirement: A booster dose of vaccine given within the past ten (10) years. Students can be considered to have completed a primary series earlier in life, unless they stat otherwise.
  • Meningitis Requirement: One (1) dose of Menomune (MPSV4) or Menactra (MCV4) preferably at entrance into college.
