	Students need MMR shots to enroll By Brian Spiegel Special to Daily Forty-Niner The most important form Cal State Long Beach students might fill out this semester probably will not be that finals Scantron in their English 100 class, but their MMR clearance form at Student Health Services. Some students have no idea what MMR means. MMR stands for "measles, mumps and rubella," a test those attending either private or public school in California or most other states are required to take as an infant. Many first-year students at The Beach do not know the university policy on MMR forms, which states students without these immunizations may not be able to enroll. Students who have not been immunized recently can get vaccinations free of charge at Health Services. While attending SOAR this summer, students received an MMR clearance form in their packet of ìimportant university stuff." For all new students at CSULB this fall, the clearance form must be turned into Health Services by the end of the semester or they will face registration holds. The students' immunization records follow them through preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school and now to college.  Most children get their MMR shots between 12-15 months of age and again at 4-6 years of age, said Lawrence Harvey, clinical coordinator of nursing services at Health Services. By state law, children must to be immunized after turning 15 months of age to attend public schools or universities.  Students who have not already turned in their MMR clearance can do so during open hours at Health Services. Students can obtain their immunization records from their doctor, high school or walk into the center and fill out their clearance card. They also can fax their records to the center at (562) 985- 8404. The center will be holding a free clinic on MMRs in the coming weeks.
