SchoolVaxView For College and Technical School Applicants

Many colleges and technical schools require that students are up to date on certain vaccines before enrollment. This helps prevent germs from spreading quickly in classrooms or communal living spaces. Getting vaccinated against certain preventable diseases is a safe and effective way to protect yourself. Some schools offer vaccinations, so check with your college’s medical services or student health department. It is important to check requirements with your school before attending classes.
