Immunizations

You play a part in keeping our campus safe and healthy

When you register for your first term at IUPUI—even if you’re taking only one on-campus course—you’re required by Indiana state law (IC 21-40-5) to submit your immunization information.

Once your immunization information has been verified, you’re done—you won’t have to submit it out again for any IU campus. Be sure to fill out all fields. Even if you’re providing the same date or documentation for multiple items, we won’t be able to review your information until all fields are complete.

Note that you may also be required to provide immunization information separately for your academic program.

What you’ll need to submit

You’ll need to know the date you were immunized as well as provide proof of immunization for the following diseases:

  • Measles (requires two immunizations)
  • Mumps
  • Rubella (German measles)
  • Tetanus, diptheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap)
  • Varicella (requires two immunizations)
  • Meningitis ACWY (also known as MCV4)
  • Meningitis B (two doses of MenB for students aged 23 years old or younger) is not currently required by state law, but is strongly recommended.

If you’re an international student, you’ll need to provide documentation of tuberculosis (TB) testing completed in the United States.

All immunization documentation must be in English, must contain your name and birth date, and must contain the name of a medical professional or the facility where you were immunized.

Full immunization requirements

You must have been immunized with two doses of live measles vaccine.

Both doses must have been given after 1967.

The first dose must have been given on or after your first birthday, and the second dose must have been given at least 30 days after the first.

You must have been immunized with the vaccine on or after your first birthday.

You must have been immunized with the vaccine on or after your first birthday.

You must have received a Tdap booster within the last 10 years.

You must have been immunized with two doses of vaccine.

The first dose must have been given on or after your first birthday, and the second dose must have been given at least 28 days after the first.

First year students aged 21 or younger will have to be immunized with one dose of Meningitis ACWY (MCV4) on or after their 16th birthday. While not currently required by state law, two doses of Meningitis B is strongly recommended for students aged 23 years old or younger.

All international students must provide documentation of TB testing in the United States.

What if you can’t provide documentation of dates?

You’ll need to include additional documentation if you’re unable to provide documentation showing your immunization dates due to one of the following:

  • You have immunity because you had the disease (with the exception of tuberculosis and Tdap). A physician’s written statement indicating the date of the disease is required to prove immunity.
  • You have positive titer results. Your titer is determined by a blood test that verifies whether you’re immune to certain diseases or vaccinations you’ve already had. You must provide the lab titer.
  • You’re medically unable to be vaccinated. If you’re unable to be vaccinated due to a medical reason (for example, allergy to eggs, pregnancy, reaction to a vaccine, or participation in a current sequence of immunizations), you’ll need a physician’s written statement that documents each specific medical contraindication or medical condition.
  • Your religious beliefs prevent you from being vaccinated. If you have not been vaccinated due to religious beliefs, you must submit an exemption letter with your signature. Electronic signatures are not sufficient, and your parents cannot sign on your behalf.

If we need additional documentation from you, we’ll notify you via university email.
