Immunization Requirements for College Attendance

WELCOME TO LEWIS UNIVERSITY!

The State of Illinois College Student Immunization Act (110-ILCS 20) requires ALL students enrolled in six (6) or more credit hours per semester (on the main campus), to provide written evidence of current immune status with respect to certain communicable diseases.

Please review ALL information on this page very carefully, as there have been recent updates to the immunization submission process. The immunization requirements are for general university attendance and are separate from any athletic or academic program requirements.

IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS FOR COLLEGE ATTENDANCE

• Measles - Mumps - Rubella (MMR) - Two doses of MMR vaccine administered on or after the first birthday and at least 28 days apart OR positive antibody titers indicating immunity to all three diseases.
  
  
• Diphtheria - Tetanus - Pertussis - Any combination of 3 or more doses of DTP, DTaP, DT, Td, or Tdap. The last dose of vaccine must have been received within the past 10 years. One dose must be a Tdap vaccine.
  
  
• Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine (MCV4) â€“ Students 21 years old and younger must show proof of receiving one dose of MCV4 vaccine on or after their 16th birthday. If received before the age of 16, a booster dose is required. The MCV4 vaccine covers meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, Y. The Meningitis B vaccine does not fulfill this requirement.

IMMUNIZATION COMPLIANCE DEADLINE

Students who have not submitted proof of all required immunizations by the compliance deadline will have a registration hold placed on their student account, which will prevent any future class registration or schedule changes. The hold cannot be removed until ALL requirements have been met.

All records must be legible and include student’s full name and date of birth. Acceptable immunization records include:

• Records from your high school or other educational institution
• Records from your health care provider’s office
• Records from your patient portal (My Chart), which may be accessed through your health care organization
• Records from your State’s Immunization Information System (IIS) 
• Military records – You may submit your military vaccination records which may be accessible through one of the following sites.

If you are unable to obtain your immunization records using the above recommendations, please contact Health Services Immunization Compliance Helpline (815-836-5714) to speak with a Health Services staff member regarding additional options to become compliant.
