Immunization Status

Immunization Status

In accordance with Chapter 76 Section C of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, College immunization requirements for measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, varicella and meningococcal (specified group below, bullet 4) apply to:

• All full-time credit students matriculating into a credit or clock-hour program under 30 years of age.
• All full-time and part-time health science students.
• All full-time and part-time students on a student or other visa, including foreign students attending or visiting classes as part of formal academic visitation exchange program.
• Meningococcal is required for all full-time students 21 years of age or younger.

Confirmation of immunization must be submitted to The Office of the Registrar prior to the first day of classes.

The immunization requirements apply to all students who attend any classes or activities on campus, even once.  If all instruction and activities are remote and the student will never be on campus in person, the requirements would not apply. Should a student physically return to campus, they would need to comply with this requirement.

Students accepted into any Health Profession program must provide evidence of all required immunizations.  The requirements are in your acceptance packet, with instructions on submitting the required documents.
