MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) Vaccines:

Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that can cause serious, possibly life-threatening symptoms. The virus can be active and contagious in the air or on surfaces for as long as two hours . The most effective way to prevent measles is by receiving two doses of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine. We encourage incoming students to check whether they have/have not received the MMR vaccination for measles. The MMR vaccine is publicly-funded in Ontario (available at no cost with a valid health card (OHIP, UHIP, etc.). If you are unable to receive your vaccine before coming to the University of Guelph, or are unsure of your vaccination status, students can book an appointment with Health Services to receive it.
