Immunizations
Massachusetts law requires that students be immunized against a number of diseases in order to attend university in the Commonwealth. Boston University strictly enforced this policy. As an incoming student, your registration will be blocked if you do not submit the required shot information. There is a seven day grace period after the first day of classes to submit this information. This information must be submitted on the Boston University Medical History and Physical Report form and it must be signed by a Doctor, Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant.

Three hepatitis B injections are required to provide full protection. If you do not have sufficient time before your arrival on campus to have all three inoculations, please come to Student Health Services for those you have not yet had.
All newly enrolled students who will be living in University residences must be immunized against meningitis. There are periodic outbreaks of meningitis on college campuses. This is an extremely important vaccine.
