University of Miami Parent Guide
Immunization
All new students are required to provide proof of immunization against measles, mumps and rubella and must also provide proof of immunization against hepatitis B and meningococcal meningitis or sign a waiver declining these immunizations (for students less than 18 years old meningitis/ hepatitis vaccine waivers must be signed by a parent or legal guardian). Health Sciences students (nursing, physical therapy) have additional requirements that will be communicated to them by their departments.
All international students must also be screened for risk of tuberculosis by completing page two of the immunization form.
Immunization information needs to be entered online at mystudenthealth.miami.edu. Although preliminary compliance can be verified on this site, final compliance will not occur and registration holds will not be removed until immunization forms are received and verified by Student Health Service staff. This will generally occur within 3 business days of receiving an accurately completed form, that has been signed by a medical provider. Immunization compliance is designated by a status change to VERIFIED on the mystudenthealth portal.
A $50 processing fee will be charged for any form received after the start of the semester
