Immunization Costs
Students can obtain immunizations from their community medical provider or from the Health Center at Auraria's Immunization Office. Community prices for MMR vaccine and blood titer tests for immunity may vary widely from one office to the next.
The Health Center at Auraria has established special immunization pricing below community standards in an effort to control costs to students needing immunization services. The cost of one MMR shot is $14.00 ($28.00 for those needing two shots). The cost of a blood titer test for immunity is $25.00 per disease or $75.00 for measles, mumps and rubella titers. There are no additional charges for administering shots or drawing blood and no office visit charges will be assessed for routine immunization services. Please be aware that when utilizing community medical providers these additional charges are often assessed, in addition to the cost of the vaccine or blood draw.
Optional Free HIV Testing is available. Optional confidential HIV testing is free of charge at the Health Center at Auraria. HIV testing is done Monday - Friday upon request during normal business hours.
