Immunization Requirements

Based on the ACHA guidelines for institutional prematriculation immunizations, all students residing in campus housing, and international students attending Barry University on an F-1 or J-1 visa are required to provide proof of two MMR (measles, mumps, Rubella) vaccinations and a tetanus diphtheria and pertussis vaccination (Tdap) in the last 10 years prior to entry into Barry University. The SHC recommends that all registered fulltime student not only receive MMR and Tdap, in addition all students are strongly encouraged to provide a statement of good health and proof of hepatitis B, hepatitis A, Varicella, Meningococcal, annual Influenza vaccinations and PPD screenings prior to attending Barry University.

Immunization records received by the SHC are entered into the university computer system for life long retrieval. Hard copies of vaccinations administered by the staff of the SHC are maintained for seven years in the SHC.

The SHC assists all academic programs by providing those immunizations that are required for academic matriculation and clinical rotations.
