Once we have verified your proof of having received the 1st dose, you will be able to register for classes. Since it is medically necessary that you wait for at least 28 days before the 2nd dose, you are granted temporary compliance for 28 days from the date on which the first dose was administered. You will become fully compliant only by submitting proof of the second dose. If you are eligible for the next dose but have not received it, you will not be permitted to register for the next semester鈥檚 classes.

Health Services offers MMR, Tdap, and Meningitis vaccines. Students pay for the vaccine at the time of the visit (with cash, by billing to their tuition account, or using their SkidCard) and then may submit a claim to their insurance for reimbursement. If a student has the student health insurance plan, Health Services can submit the cost directly to the insurance plan for the student and the student does not need to pay. The cost of the MMR vaccine is $90, Tdap is $40, and meningitis is $120. More information about immunization services is available online.
