Before you enroll at FSU, you must confirm that you have received the following required immunizations:

• 2 MMR's (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
• Meningococcal Meningitis*
• Hepatitis B*

*Meningitis and Hepatitis B vaccines are strongly recommended, but at the present time they may be declined by signing a waiver in Section B on the health history form (pdf) after you review the information regarding the diseases. The meningitis vaccine is especially recommended for those students who will be living in residence halls or living in close quarters (Greek housing, apartment complexes, etc.). It is safe to receive and we do have the vaccine at the health center. We also offer the Hepatitis B series and can begin or complete the series. Call (850) 644-4567 for an appointment.

Please note: In the recent past, there has been a large mumps outbreak affecting mainly college-age students that has spread to at least 11 states. Complications of mumps can be severe, leading to hospitalization and in rare cases, death. Following the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American College Health Association (ACHA), Florida State University now requires documentation of receipt of two doses of MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) or acceptable evidence of immunity. This supersedes the previous requirement of two measles and one rubella shot.

For more information on immunization requirements, call (850) 644-6573.
