Vaccinations
It is highly recommended that all students should be up to date with routine immunizations and be vaccinated against COVID-19, hepatitis B and meningitis.
COVID-19 Vaccination
COVID-19 is caused by a respiratory virus that can spread easily among people. College students are at increased risk of infection due to dormitory living, group activities and other shared spaces. The American College Health Association (ACHA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommend all college students and employees be up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines and boosters. Vaccination decreases the risk of severe illness, hospitalization and death from infection.
Hepatitis B Vaccination
Hepatitis B is a potentially fatal infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis B virus. The virus is passed either directly from an individual infected with hepatitis B by contact with his or her bodily fluids or indirectly by contact with dried blood or bodily fluids on other surfaces. College students are among those at risk for hepatitis B infection and the American College Health Association (ACHA) recommends that all college students be vaccinated.
Meningococcal Vaccination
Meningococcal disease or meningitis is a rare but potentially fatal bacterial infection of the brain and spinal cord. College students, particularly those who live in dormitories, have a slightly increased risk of getting meningococcal disease. Pre-exposure vaccination reduces a student's risk of disease. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the American College Health Association (ACHA) recommend that parents and students be educated about meningococcal disease and the benefits of vaccination.
