Jessup University Vaccination Policy

Student Care Immunization Recommendations

Jessup University does not require undergraduate students to show proof of immunizations. However, we strongly recommend obtaining the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR); please note that two vaccines are required in a lifetime to complete immunization. We also recommend a Tuberculosis screening using one of the three options below:

• Complete TB Screening Questionnaire, or
• IGRA blood test (TB Gold or T Spot) or
• TB skin test (PPD)

Other recommended vaccinations include:

• Tetanus booster within the last 10 years (Tdap preferred)
• Hepatitis B: Series of 3 shots
• Meningitis: For incoming freshman and those living in the residence halls or in close contact, there are two types of meningitis vaccines to consider, since they cover different strains of meningitis
  • Serogroup B (Trumenba or Bexsero)
  • Serogroup A, C, W, Y (Menactra or Menveo)
