Immunization Policy

Before students may attend classes, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 76, Section 15c requires that each student must show immunization records for vaccinations against measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, varicella, acellular pertussis and Hepatitis B series and submit completed health forms.

Meningococcal Disease:

Massachusetts law requires newly enrolled full-time students attending colleges, who will be living in a dormitory or other congregate housing, to receive a dose of quadrivalent meningococcal vaccine. These students must provide documentation of having received a dose of quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine at any time in the past (or a dose of quadrivalent meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine within the last 5 years).

Influenza (Seasonal Flu)

Every year, the flu spreads across college campuses nationwide. Close living quarters, shared restrooms, and a lot of social activities make a college student more likely to catch the flu. Click here for more information.
