Immunizations Policy
Drexel University requires all entering full-time students and all international students to complete the following immunization schedule:

• MMR vaccine: Measles, Mumps, Rubella (two doses)
  
• Hepatitis B vaccine (2 doses - 3 doses are preferred)
  
• 2-Step PPD screening within 12 months of entering Drexel University performed in the U.S. (7-12 days apart)
  
• Varicella (chicken pox)
  
• Tetanus (within the last eight to ten years)
  
• For resident students: Meningococcal (one dose required prior to entry into college for students living in University housing. Any undergraduate less than 25 years old who wishes to reduce the risk of the disease can consider the vaccine. Students with immunodeficiency, such as complement deficiency or aspienia should receive the vaccine every three to five years.)
  

Drexel University highly recommends, but does not require, the meningitis vaccine for commuter students.

The prematriculation immunization requirement is based on the recommendations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Health Immunization and the American College Health Association. You can satisfy this requirement by completing the Immunization Record which will be mailed to students prior to entering Drexel. This form can also be downloaded here:

There is a $30.00 Immunization processing fee which must be paid by all students. This fee will be placed on the student's university bill.
Student who have not fully complied with all immunization requirements will not be able to access DrexelOne, and therefore will be unable to access their class schedules. Students who have still not completed all immunization requirements by the first day of class will have their courses dropped.
