Health Requirements
FOR NEW STUDENTS: All first-year and transfer students must submit a Medical & Immunization History Form on the Student Health Services Portal by August 1, 2024. If you have a physical copy of your immunizations or a physical, you can email them to studenthealth@neumann.edu to attach to the electronic form you submit. All students, including graduate students, must complete this form if they will be physically on the Neumann University campus. If your education is strictly online, you do not need to submit this form.
Students who fail to meet the deadline may be restricted from moving into the residence halls or participating in classes until the form is submitted.
Please Note: Athletics utilizes a physical form different from this process. Information on that form may be used to complete the electronic Medical & Immunization History Form.
Required Immunizations:
- Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) – 2 doses required
- Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis (TDAP) – booster must be within the last 10 years
- Hepatitis B – 3 doses required
- Varicella (chicken pox) – 2 doses required or date of disease
- Meningitis Vaccine – 2 doses
VACCINATION EXEMPTIONS: Neumann University follows the American College Health Association (ACHA), the Pennsylvania State Mandatory Vaccination Code, and the CDC’s immunization compliance guidelines. For the safety of all students, immunizations are mandatory. Students may be exempted from the immunization requirements if there is a medical contraindication or the student’s religion prohibits immunization. Per the Pennsylvania State Mandatory Vaccination Code, students may request the following vaccination exemptions:
- Medical exemption: To obtain a medical exemption, students must submit a signed statement indicating specific medical contraindication from a Medical Doctor (MD), Doctor of Osteopath (DO), Nurse Practitioner (NP), or Physician Assistant (PA). The statement must indicate why each required vaccine is medically contraindicated. Please email the medical exemption documentation to studenthealth@neumann.edu for review.
- Religious exemption: To obtain a religious exemption, students must submit a signed statement from a clergy member describing the student’s religious beliefs and why those beliefs prohibit the required vaccination. Please email the religious exemption letter to studenthealth@neumann.edu for review.
The deadline to submit a vaccination exemption is August 1, 2024.
Please contact Student Health Services at 610-558-5540 or at studenthealth@neumann.edu if you have any questions.
