Proof of Bacterial Meningitis
Texas law requires that all entering students under the age of 22 provide a certificate signed by a health care provider or an official immunization record verifying that a student has been vaccinated against bacterial meningitis, or has received a booster during the five years prior to registration.

Proof of Meningitis Immunization must be submitted to Magnus Health SMR to verify that the vaccination was received during the five year period prior to and no later than 10 days before the first day of the semester.
UHD will not directly accept student Bacterial Meningitis Immunization records in person, to UHD fax numbers, or UHD email addresses.
