McMinnville Campus Students
In compliance with Oregon Law, Linfield University requires that all enrolled students on the McMinnville campus, born on or after January 1, 1957, provide documentation of two doses of MMR vaccine (with the first dose on or after the first birthday and the second dose at least 24 days after the first), or evidence of immunity documented by a health care provider.
Students should log in to their Etrieve account to complete the measles immunization documentation form. Successful completion of this process is necessary before students can register for classes at Linfield.
Some people choose not to be vaccinated for measles due to personal, religious or philosophical reasons. To claim a nonmedical exemption for measles vaccine, visit healthoregon.org/vaccineexemption. You will be required to submit documentation of an approved and completed educational module in the Etrieve system to be in compliance with Linfield University’s vaccine policy.
If you need assistance finding information on past vaccinations:
- Check with your health care provider.
- If you got the vaccines in Oregon, call ALERT IIS at 1-800-980-9431 or email alertiis@state.or.us. More complete records are likely for students born after 1995.
- If you got the vaccines outside of Oregon, call your doctor’s office in that state or try contacting the state’s vaccine registry
Below is a list of additional vaccines you may want to consider before going to college. Please discuss your decisions about these vaccines with your personal health care provider, or feel free to schedule an appointment with the staff at the Linfield Student Health, Wellness and Counseling Center.
