  • If you are having difficulty finding a physician  to provide you with the MMR (only pediatricians typically keep the vaccine on hand), please call your local university or community college. They may be able to assist you.

You will notice that we have several classes that use the same omnibus course code DCI 691 or DCI 791, which is why it is important to pay attention to the class number when registering
