The vaccinations are required for anyone born after 1957 who has not had MMR vaccinations at ages five and one. "Our feeling is that there is so much measles in the city, and we've had one case here, that we feel there could be a serious oubreak here," said Student Health Director MarJeanne Collins. "This could prevent it." Times for vaccinations are from noon to 2 p.m. Monday, from 3 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, from 8:30 a.m. to p.m. Wednesday, and from 8:30 a.m. to noon Thursday. Student Health is providing the vaccinations for $25. Although students may walk in during the announced times, Collins said appointments should be scheduled if possible. -- Michael Sirolly
