Immunizations

The following immunizations are required for:

All UMBC students

Two MMR's (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) after your 1st birthday (unless you were born before 1957)

Students living in on-campus housing

Meningitis: Maryland law requires that all students living in on-campus housing have meningitis vaccine within 3 years of entering UMBC or sign a waiver stating that they understand the risks of meningitis and elect not to have the vaccine.

International Students

Tuberculosis (TB) test: All international students are required to have a TB skin test (PPD) in the United States within 3 months of beginning study at UMBC.

Proof of all required immunizations must be submitted to UHS at the beginning of your first semester at UMBC. Proof of immunizations must have a health care provider's signature and be provided in English. If you have not submitted the required proof of immunizations, you will not be able to register for classes for future semesters.

You can download the "Mandatory UMBC Health Form" and, have your local provider fill out the necessary information, sign it, and fax it to UHS at 410-455-1125.

If you are coming into UHS for an immunization, you can save yourself some time by printing out a copy of the Immunization Screening and Informed Consent Form and completing it before coming to UHS.
