New Meningitis Legislation


There is a change in student immunization requirements effective Fall 2004. Health Services is implementing new NYS legislation which requires college students to provide proof of immunization for meningitis or sign a waiver refusing the immunization.

Registration and Records will collaborate with Health Services to promote student compliance by offering the meningitis information and declination form through their office. The form is also available online through the Health Services website (go to meningitis). Students will be required to complete the requirement in order to register for future semesters. Students will be placed on “Hold” status and will be unable to register for future semesters until the requirement is completed.
