Immunization Requirements

Xavier University policy requires several vaccines and strongly encourages others. All incoming undergraduate students (domestic and international) must submit documentation as evidence of these immunizations. The deadline for students starting in summer or fall semester is August 1st and January 15th for students starting in the spring semester. The University reserves the right to pivot on vaccination requirements in response to changing public health circumstances.

The following vaccines (or an approved exemption) are required for all Xavier new First Year and new transfer students, and ALL International students:

Hepatitis B: Three (3) doses of Hepatitis B OR lab report confirming immunity
MMR: Two (2) doses of MMR (first one must have occurred on or after first birthday) OR Two (2) doses of Measles, Two (2) doses Mumps, and One (1) dose of Rubella OR lab reporting confirming immunity for each.
Meningococcal conjugate (ACWY): One (1) dose since age 16.

Students in programs requiring clinical experiences may need to submit immunization verification through additional University systems (ex. CastleBranch, ViewPoint Screening, etc.)

Exemptions

Xavier students may request exemptions from required immunizations or vaccinations for medical or religious reasons. The exemption forms are available on the MedProctor website.
