Immunization Policy
The state of Indiana College Immunization Law IC 21-40-5 went into effect in the fall
of 1995. This law affects full-time students upon initial enrollment at a state-supported
residential college or university. Students not in compliance by the end of their
first semester of enrollment may not register or attend classes during their second
or subsequent semesters, until the requirements are met.
To be in compliance with the immunization law, ALL full-time students must provide
documentation for the following:
For students born on or after January 1, 1957 the following is required:
-
One dose of MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) on or after the first birthday. Documentation
must include day, month and year of vaccination.
-
Second dose of measles (rubeola) or a second MMR administered 30 days after the first
dose. Documentation must include day, month and year of vaccination.
-
Tetanus and Diphtheria toxoid or Tdap within the last 10 years. Documentation must
include day, month and year of vaccination.
Meningitis B – 2 dose series – either under trade name of Bexsero or Trumenba is strongly
recommended.
All fulltime, first time students must either have received the Meningitis vaccine,
OR sign the electronic meningitis waiver on their 澳门足球博彩官方网址X. Students sign into their 澳门足球博彩官方网址X,
click on Student Self Service and go to the Personal Information tab. Click on the
Meningococcal Risk Acknowledgement Link. Read the Meningococcal disease information,
click “I Agree” and submit. You MUST click on “I Accept” on the next page, and submit.
You will then see a message that you have completed the requirements for the meningitis
waiver.
Students may provide documented serologic (bloodwork) evidence of measles, mumps,
and rubella antibodies.
Religious or medical contraindication exemptions must be filed with the Vincennes
University Immunizations, WAB1.
