Health Requirements

All students entering Dominican are required to submit to the Health Center the following by the required date:

• A Medical History Form
• Immunization & TB Screening Form – proof of having two measles, mumps & rubella (MMR) vaccines or proof of immunity by means of a blood titer test; and TB screening within 3 months prior to entering campus

For all residential students, you must also submit the following:

• A Physical Examination Form completed prior to the arrival at Dominican
• Meningococcal Meningitis vaccination
• Tetanus verification (Tdap) – the vaccine must include pertussis

All medical forms should be mailed directly to the Student Health Center, 50 Acacia Ave., San Rafael, CA 94901, prior to arrival on campus.

Although not required, it is prudent for a college student to be fully immunized for Hepatitis A & B, Varicella (chickenpox), and HPV (men and women).  Hepatitis B, Tetanus with Pertussis, and HPV are available in our clinic for a fee.  However, it is recommended that students be immunized by their healthcare provider at home to facilitate insurance coverage for the vaccines.  We are not able to bill insurance providers.  If you have questions regarding these vaccines, the Center for Disease Control and the American College Health Association Web sites can provide the most current information and recommendations.
