An executive order signed last week by Chancellor W. Ann Reynolds requires students entering any of the 19 CSU campuses and some already in specific programs to be vaccinated for, or show proof of, measles and ru- bella immunizations. The order affects all new and re-entering students under 30 years of age, dorm residents, students who re- ceived their primary and secondary education outside the United States and anyone enrolled in health or education programs. Students without immunization proof will be admitted for fall semester, but will not receive registration materi- als for the spring semester until they can present evi- dence of vaccination. "Our biggest pocket is new immigrant and foreign students who arrived here after primary and secondary schooling," said Raymond Miller. Student Health Serv- ices director. "I The disease) could go through these two groups like wildfire because they aren't ready for it." Miller said he expects about 2,000 students to be af- fected by the order. He said a doctor's note would be suffi- cient proof of immunization. Students who have not been immunized or cannot show proof can be vaccinated free of charge at the health center, he said. Students who have had measles will not need a vacci- nation, but will have to obtain evidence showing they've had the disease. The chancellor's office stated in a press release that the program would be the most sweeping of any adopted by a university system in the United States. Reynolds pro- jected total immunization of all CSU students in the early 1990s. "The protection of students and the uninterrupted conduct of academic programs are our paramount con- cerns," Reynolds stated in the press release. "We are now strongly encouraging students to obtain evidence of immunizations before reporting for their first classes in the CSU." The action was taken to avert an outbreak of the Michael K Chow Daily staff photographer highly contagious disease similar to those experienced at East and Midwest universities in the last few years.
