Summer Housing 2012
Meningitis Vaccine Information
The State of Texas recently passed Senate Bill 1107, which
requires all incoming college and university students under the age of 30
receive the bacterial meningitis vaccine.
Bacterial meningitis is a serious and potentially deadly
disease that can progress extremely fast. Meningitis strikes approximately
3,000 Americans annually, including 100-125 on college campuses, leading to 5-15
deaths among college students every year.
In addition to the current requirement that all new TCU
students planning to live on campus must be vaccinated against bacterial
meningitis, beginning in spring 2012, all incoming students under 30 must also
be vaccinated against bacterial meningitis. Any TCU student who has taken a fall
or spring semester break from classes, who has not previously submitted proof of
a current meningitis vaccination to the TCU Health Center, is required to submit
proof of a current meningitis vaccine prior to re-enrolling. Students who
are solely enrolled in online or distance education, or extended education
courses are exempt.
Current proof of the vaccination must be presented to the
Health Center before enrolling in classes. Current defined as having received
the vaccination within the past five years and no later than 10 days before
moving in. Students have the ability to claim an exemption from the
vaccination, but must do so in writing on the forms provided by the Health
Center. (forms available at healthcenter.tcu.edu). Because this is a new Texas
law and affects the health of individuals and our community, students affected
by the law will not be allowed to enroll in classes until they have submitted
proof of the vaccination to the Health Center.
All current students are exempt from the new law, but are
strongly encouraged to make sure they are up to date on their meningitis
vaccinations because 19-24 is the high-risk age group.
