UW–Madison Requires Students to Disclose Vaccination Status After Measles Case

The change follows a confirmed measles case, giving health officials faster access to immunization data.

Overview

  • Students must upload vaccination records or confirm they are unvaccinated by March 12 through MedProctor.
  • The disclosure covers MMR, Tdap, varicella, meningococcal ACWY and B, and hepatitis B.
  • Noncompliance can result in a registration hold that blocks future course enrollment.
  • The university emphasizes a reporting requirement rather than a vaccination mandate, with no penalty for stating unvaccinated status.
  • Unvaccinated students may face quarantine, isolation, or restricted access during outbreaks, and no other Universities of Wisconsin campuses have a similar requirement.
