IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS

All immunization documents must be submitted to the Admissions Office in Namm Hall, room N/G 17. Students who do not submit proof of immunization against measles, mumps and rubella will be prohibited from attending City Tech. Students who fail to submit the meningococcal meningitis response form within the statutory grace period will have a stop put on their record and may be prohibited from attending City Tech.

Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Requirements

New York State Public Health Law §2165 requires all college students born on or after January 1, 1957 and who are enrolling for six or more semester hours, to show proof of immunity against measles, mumps, and rubella in order to register for courses. For information regarding Veterans waivers, medical waivers/exemptions and religious exemptions, call or visit the Admissions Office.

Students are required to submit a written record of two doses of live measles vaccine, one dose of live mumps vaccine and one dose of rubella vaccine; or positive titer: a laboratory report of blood test indicating immunity to measles, mumps and rubella. Students who partially comply with the immunization requirements will be permitted to register for courses and have until the 30th day of the semester to submit the remaining requirements.

Meningococcal Meningitis Requirements

New York State Public Health Law §2167 requires all colleges and universities to provide written information about meningococcal disease and vaccination to its students. The law does not require that students be immunized against meningitis. No student will be exempted from receiving information or returning the meningococcal meningitis response form.

Students enrolled for at least six semester hours or the equivalent per semester are required to complete, sign and return a meningococcal meningitis response form by the 30th day of the semester that: (a) confirms that the college has provided the information about meningococcal meningitis; and (b)indicates that either: (1) the student has decided against receiving the vaccination;or (2) the student has received the meningococcal meningitis vaccination within the past 10 years.

To assist students with meeting the immunization requirements, we provide free on-campus immunizations and referrals to off-campus immunization clinics. For additional information, contact or visit The Wellness Center.
