Meeting the UW General Immunity Requirements is part of your New Husky Checklist.
All students at UW must be vaccinated, or receive an approved exemption, for Measles, Mumps, and (if under 22 years old) Meningitis ACWY.
Immunizations are required 3 weeks into your first quarter, except for incoming summer students. Incoming summer students’ records are due at the end of Summer Break. See the table below to find your vaccination deadline. If you do not satisfy your immunization requirements, you will receive a registration block and will not be able to register for courses for your second quarter.

Need a vaccine?
In partnership with the Husky Health Center and the UW Immunity Verification Program, CIRCLE offers several vaccine clinics for international students at the start of the academic year. Join us at our Post-Arrival Resource Fair on September 25, 2026, or find another vaccine clinic during our International Welcome Programs.
You can also make an appointment directly with Husky Health Center, our on-campus medical clinic, by calling 206-685-1011.
Immunization tips for students from China:
- China does NOT offer meningitis ACWY vaccines. Schedule a vaccine appointment at UW Husky Health Center or attend one of our vaccine clinics during International Welcome Programs.
- To fulfill your measles and mumps vaccination requirements, you can get a blood test at your local International Travel HealthCare Center (国际旅行卫生保健中心).
