adult vaccines
So I decided to go back to school full time and got an email today saying I need to be fully vaccinated. I called my last college and I am up to date but need a tdap and a chicken pox I think. Is this a new thing? I respect both sides of vaxing but hate feeling like if I decline I can't enroll. I am on the line about them since my son had an adverse reaction to either tdap or pnemmonical.

I had to be fully vaccinated to attend college in 2003-2007.

I'm not sure if it's normal, but I've always had to be fully vaccinated and ahead on my vaccines, to go to school. I'm an immigrant, so I know some of my requirement were different than American citizens requirements. But for me it was normal. I actually have double vaccines, but that's a whole other story.

I needed to be up to date on vaccines when I started college in 2011. If you have any concerns or questions you can call whichever office is in charge of checking immunization records & talk with them, they're usually very helpful.

Most states have exemptions, which include college attendance.

Yeah I had to be up to date on all of my vaccines when I went back to school a couple of years ago.

Its a common requirement. Has been since forever ago.
Contact you pcp and get copies of your vaccination record.

There is usually a paper you can sign opting out of vaccinations for college. I signed it and did not have to take them. The main reason is that I have no idea where to find my childhood vaccination records. I don't even know the name of my doctor....
you should be able to ask about it at the registrars office.
