“University of Wyoming Trustees Approve Two-Dose Vaccine Rule” Associated Press (www.ap.org) (09/09/01)

Due to measles outbreaks on college campuses in recent years, University of Wyoming trustees have voted to require that, starting next fall, students at the college receive two doses of the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine before attending classes.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College Health Association recommend two doses of the vaccine.  Two doses of the vaccine are required in 32 other states and also in Wyoming public schools.
