Legislative Mandate #1, HB 4189

 

Effective: January 1, 2010

 

All first-time students attending an institution of higher education, including transfer students, who reside in or have applied for on-campus housing must be vaccinated against bacterial meningitis.  The vaccine must be received a minimum of 10 days prior to the student taking up residence in on-campus housing.

Students must present evidence to the institution that they have been vaccinated. The following is acceptable evidence of having received the bacterial meningitis vaccination:

 

• the month, day, and year the vaccination was administered; and

• the signature or stamp of the physician or his/her designee, or public         health personal; or

• an official immunization record generated from a state or local health authority; or

Students who do not comply with this mandate will not be permitted to live in on-campus housing.  Room reservation fees, regardless of residence, are non-refundable.
