Immunizations Recommended and Required for All Students for Entrance to UNH
Required Immunizations:
MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella)
It is the University's policy that all students be adequately immunized against MMR prior to attendance. The requirement is as follows: Students must submit proof of two MMR vaccinations or, if the vaccinations were received individually, proof of two Measles, two Mumps, and one Rubella vaccination. Students born before 1957 are exempt from providing documentation.
Tuberculosis
Students should complete the online questions regarding Tuberculosis. If you are determined to be high risk, print out the Tuberculosis Testing & Treatment Form and bring it to your health care provider for further discussion and possible testing and/or treatment.
Recommended Immunizations:
Meningococcal
The American College Health Association (ACHA) recommends that college students consider vaccination to reduce their risk for potentially fatal meningococcal disease. In support of this recommendation, Health Services suggests you discuss the risk for meningococcal disease on campus with your medical clinician, and consider getting vaccinated. Ideally this would be done before coming to campus, but Health Services can provide the vaccine. An appointment can be scheduled with a Health Services nurse. Please note that vaccination against meningococcal disease is not a requirement for admission to UNH.

We are strongly recommending that all students be vaccinated against Hepatitis B.
