Immunization Compliance

Immunization services are available Monday – Thursday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Please call to make an appointment.

Immunization requirements & verification process for Health Science majors

Texas law requires students involved in healthcare programs at Texas Woman’s University to show proof of certain immunizations. These students are therefore required to submit written proof of their immunizations to Student Health Services for verification. Participation in clinic rotations is contingent upon compliance with this policy, and students are advised to submit their immunization records several weeks before their clinicals so that their immunization records can be updated and reported to their departments and professors.

Immunizations should be submitted and reviewed online at TWU Patient Portal.

Please submit all meningitis records to the TWU Registrar's Office. Scroll down for details about meningitis vaccination requirements.

Meningitis vaccination requirement (entering students)

Per Texas state legislation and beginning Jan. 1, 2012, all Texas college students (new or transfer) must receive a vaccination or booster against bacterial meningitis.

As of October 1, 2013, students 22 years of age or older not required to file the exemption or show proof of the vaccination.

The vaccine is required for students 21 years of age and younger of public and private colleges, living both on and off campus. An entering student is a new student or a student who has had a break of enrollment for one or more fall or spring semesters. Transfer students are considered entering students.

The student, or parent or guardian of the student, will be required to provide a certificate signed by a health practitioner or an official immunization record showing the student has received the bacterial meningitis vaccination or booster during the five-year period prior to enrollment, and not less than 10 days before the first day of classes.

The affidavit of objection form may no longer be used. Instead, applications are required to submit a notarized DSHS official Conscientious Objection Form. Please note it may take 1–2 weeks in order to complete this process. Additional information is available on the DSHS website.
