The following immunizations are required to participate in the Bellin College clinical settings and to progress in the curriculum plans. All students will upload immunization documents into ViewPoint, Inc. to show proof of date and completion of their immunization requirements. Blood titers showing immunity must be documented as “antibodies present”, “immune”, or have an ISR value of 1.10 or higher.
| Measles | Positive immune blood titer or dates of two (2) vaccines. |
| Mumps | Positive immune blood titer or dates of two (2) vaccines. |
| Rubella | Positive immune blood titer or dates of two (2) vaccines. |
Varicella (Chickenpox) | Positive immune blood titer or dates of two vaccines. If you have had Chickenpox, you will need a blood titer and must provide documented results of a positive blood titer showing proof of sufficient immunity. History or documentation of the disease IS NOT acceptable proof of immunity. |
Hepatitis B/ Heplisav-B | Positive immune blood titer. If vaccine series was completed more than six (6) months ago, documentation of that series (3 shots) will be adequate. If titer was performed within 1-6 months after series and is non-immune, additional shots and titer(s) will be required up to a maximum of six (6) shots. Immune titer is required if last dose is within six (6) months. |
| Meningococcal | Date of one (1) vaccine or signed declination. |
| Tetanus | Td or Tdap is required. A booster is required every 10 years |
| Flu Vaccine | Clinical requirements and recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) indicate flu vaccines are mandatory. Each clinical site will have flu season protocol/requirements that students will be expected to abide by, which includes proof of compliance in receiving the flu vaccination. Flu vaccines are administered for free at the College in the fall of the academic year. |
| COVID-19 Vaccine | Students must be fully vaccinated or have an exemption on file by the time classes start. If a student is a late admit, the student will be allowed 5 weeks to complete the vaccination series or exemption approval. Documentation must be uploaded into Viewpoint. Disclaimer: COVID-19 guidelines and timelines must be followed per each clinical agency. |
If a blood titer is submitted to show immunity for any disease listed above, it must be documented as “antibodies present,” “immune” or have an ISR value of 1.10 or higher. The general health of the applicant must be deemed adequate for meeting the program outcomes of the degree. Any declination of vaccines may put the student’s ability to advance through the curriculum in jeopardy.
