Beginning January 2012, Texas State law (SB 1107) mandates that all entering students under the age of 30 provide a certificate signed by a health care provider or an official immunization record verifying that a student has been vaccinated against bacterial meningitis, or has received a booster during the five years prior to registration.
Students who have not provided documentation verifying that a bacterial meningitis vaccination has been received will have a hold placed on their account. The hold will be removed once official documentation is received by the University of Houston. A hold will prevent the student from registering for classes—registration takes place at New Student Conferences—so students must fulfill this requirement before or upon arrival to their New Student Conference.
Vaccinations will be available at the UH Health Center during New Student Conferences for a fee of $136. It is recommended that students receive the vaccination before New Student Conferences because the student’s current health care provider may be able to offer it at a lower cost. Upon administration of the vaccination, students should present the documentation to the Office of Admissions in the Welcome Center.
Please note: Students are required to fulfill the vaccination requirement a minimum of ten days before the first day of classes. Some conferences are less than ten days before the start of the semester. In this case, students must meet the ten-day deadline and the option to receive the vaccination at New Students Conferences is not available.
