To our campus community:
As we continue to work with public health officials to monitor the measles case on campus, the University of Wisconsin–Madison is taking steps to protect the health of our community. To support these efforts, University Health Services (UHS) will offer measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine clinics for employees and students who wish to receive a vaccine.
MMR vaccine clinics are voluntary and are open to students and employees who are unprotected against measles or unsure of their vaccination status. Please note that UHS vaccine clinics do not provide vaccination for post-exposure prevention (PEP). If you have been instructed to quarantine, do not leave quarantine to attend a vaccine clinic. Contact your health care provider for guidance. Students can contact UHS at 608-265-5600.
Two MMR vaccine clinic dates will be offered this week:
- Wednesday, February 11 from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. at the Bakke Recreation and Wellbeing Center, Classroom 1 & 2 (Register)
- Thursday, February 12 from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. at the Nicholas Recreation Center, Courts 1 & 2 (Register)
Additional vaccine clinics, including late-night options, may be offered in the future. See the UHS website for updates on additional clinics.
Pre-registration is recommended, but drop-in vaccinations are available. Bring your Wiscard and health insurance information to your vaccine appointment, if you have it. You will not be asked to provide documentation indicating your health history or vaccination status. If you have questions about vaccination based on your personal situation, contact your primary care provider for guidance.
To learn more and to register for an appointment, visit the UHS website. A list of frequently asked questions is also available.
We are committed to continuing our efforts to protect the health and safety of our campus community.
