Immunization Requirements

 

Medical Forms

MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)

If you are taking 6 or more credits in-person or hybrid and you were born after December 31, 1956, you are required to submit proof of vaccination for MMR. The first dose should be administered on or after your first birthday and the second dose must be administered at least 28 days after the first dose.

MEN (Meningitis)

Regardless of age, New York State Public Health Law 2167 requires all students taking 6 or more credits in in-person or hybrid courses to provide information about Meningococcal Meningitis vaccination. You must enter the date of your vaccine (called Menactra or MCV4) taken within the last 5 years or waive the vaccine.

Students who are required to and do not submit proof of immunization to the Student Health Center are subject to administrative withdrawal from in-person and hybrid courses.

Intra-CUNY Transfer Students Only

If you are transferring to Lehman College from another CUNY institution, your immunization records should already be in CUNY First and, therefore, you will NOT need to resubmit your records and there should NOT be a negative service indicator on your record.

You may obtain a copy of your immunization records remotely through the Student Health Portal.

Just log on to Lehman 360 using the firstname.lastname from your Lehman email and your password and click on the first app under Lehman Apps - Student Health Portal.
