Immunization Requirements
All registered students are strongly encouraged to obtain immunizations
against communicable diseases, as recommended by CDC. If a student is unsure
whether he or she is up-to-date, visit us to review your vaccination record
and schedule your appointment.
Payments for vaccine are due before they are given. If no immunization
records are available, blood titers can be ordered and the results are
usually available within 7-10 days after the blood draw. All payments are
made at the health center.
