HSC and College of Public Health Student Requirements
***Updated 6/20/2024
***Updated Immunization Requirements Effective 07/01/2024
Proof of adequate immunization and updated Tuberculosis screening (Tuberculin Skin Test/PPD or IGRA blood test) records are requirements for clinical rotations. Failure to provide proof of compliant immunizations or titers will prevent you from doing clinical work.
All of these records should be uploaded to the Patient Health Portal under the Upload Section. Please use the HSC & CPH Immunization, Titer And-Or Physical Record option.
Below are the pre-matriculation immunization requirements for Health Sciences, College of Public Health and School of Podiatry students. Please contact Student Health Services at 215-707-4088 to make an appointment if necessary.
- Childhood/ Previous Immunization Records (including REQUIRED Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella & Hepatitis B)
- If you do not have proof of MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) or Varicella vaccinations, you will need to upload Lab Reports for quantitative MMR or Varicella titers verifying immunity.
- Primary COVID-19 Vaccine series and/or record of an updated Covid-19 vaccine
- Most recent Annual Influenza Vaccination
- Tdap vaccine (done within the past 10 years)
- PPD Result with the millimeter reading and done within the past 12 months
- (IgRA tests are acceptable)
- QUANTITATIVE Hepatitis B surface antibody test
- Completed pre-matriculation physical
If your insurance will not cover the titer/antibody testing, or if you are unable to get a physical, you can have both done at SHS once you arrive on campus. There is no charge for physical exams but there are charges for immunizations received through SHS (please see our website for pricing information). You can schedule online through the Patient Health Portal at:
or by calling 215-707-4088 (HSC) or 215-204-7500 (Main) for an appointment.
