Immunization Information

Students are strongly encouraged to submit documentation for required immunizations prior to enrollment. Failure to do so will delay pre-registration for ensuing semesters. Maxim HealthCare Services will be on campus during orientation and for monthly, scheduled immunization clinics to assist students who lack one or more of the university's requirements. Please contact Health Services if you would like information regarding these clinics and fees for immunization services.

Note: All students are required to provide written, physician-certified evidence of two MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) immunizations administered after the first birthday. Certified laboratory evidence of immunity may be submitted in lieu of immunization data.

Florida state law requires students who reside in university-managed housing to provide written, physician-certified documentation for the Hepatitis B series (three doses) and Meningococcal Meningitis (single dose) or sign a waiver to decline those immunizations. Students are encouraged to read the detailed information forwarded by Admissions with the Medical Report form or contact Health Services for further information.

Hepatitis B
This is a vaccine-preventable, viral disease that can lead to serious complications such as liver damage, cancer of the liver, and even death. The American College Health Association encourages all students to consider the benefits of vaccination for hepatitis B especially those who have increased risk from exposure to blood or other body fluids of an infected person (through sex, blood transfusion, tattoos/body piercing, drug use, exposure to biomedical waste). Please refer to the detailed information regarding hepatitis B and its prevention that accompanies the Medical Report form sent by Admissions.

Meningococcal Meningitis
This is a serious and communicable bacterial infection of the brain and covering of the spinal cord. The disease has a 10-15% fatality rate despite treatment. Survivors can be subject to disabling amputations, seizures, deafness, and strokes. Meningococcal meningitis can be prevented through vaccination. Please refer to the detailed information that accompanies the Medical Report form sent by Admissions.

Exemption
If a student requires exemption from the university's immunization requirements for medical or religious reasons, Health Services will forward a waiver for appropriate documentation and signature. The completed waiver should be returned to Health Services prior to enrollment. Download the waiver (Adobe .pdf file, Acrobat Reader required.)
