TB skin test clinics will be scheduled during the 2nd week of May on Monday and Tuesday at the SON at no cost; please watch for emails or call (414) 277-7158 for clinic dates and times.
If unable to make these clinics, you may schedule in Health Services (414) 277-7590 on a Monday or Tuesday. Tests are to be read within 48-72 hours by Health Services K250 or by a clinical instructor. The student is responsible for making sure that results are recorded annually at the SON. - The

- Measles,
Mumps, Rubella (MMR) - All nursing students born prior to 1/1/1957 must demonstrate immunity to

proof of two MMR vaccines or positive Rubella and Rubeola titres.
Vaccinations may have been given separately. We must see two dates for measles, two dates for mumps and one date for Rubella.

cover the cost of immunizations; if this is not available to you, please check
out your local public health department for best cost containment, or visit MSOE
