Immunization Requirements

The State of New Jersey requires that all first-time, full-time degree-seeking students submit proof of immunization against measles, mumps, rubella, and Hepatitis B or provide the necessary evidence for exemption. Students may be exempt if one of the following conditions apply:

• Medical reasons – a physician’s statement must be submitted
• Religious reasons – a statement from an official of the religious organization must be submitted
• Born before 1957

If none of the above circumstances apply, the student must submit one of the following documents, specifying the type of immunization received and the date it was administered:

• Official school immunization record
• Record from any public health department
• Record signed by a physician who is licensed to practice medicine or osteopathy, or another licensed health professional who is approved by the New Jersey State Department of Health

The Nurse Education Program has specific immunization requirements. Information is provided at orientation.
