New York State Proof of Immunization Requirement
In accordance with New York State law, students born on or after January 1, 1957 must demonstrate proof of immunization against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR). They must also complete and submit the Meningococcal Meningitis Vaccination Response Form. In addition, clinical sites may require additional immunizations, such as chicken pox (varicella). All students will be made aware of these additional items prior to their rotations.
Students must submit acceptable medical proof of immunization. Immunization forms can be obtained in the Office of the Registrar at various campus locations, or downloaded at www.touro.edu/registrar/immunization.asp. Students who fail to provide the required proof of immunization will not be permitted to register and attend classes until a properly completed form has been submitted to the Office of the Registrar.
All accepted students will receive an email from myRecordTracker and will need to upload documentation related to MMR and Meningitis immunizations within 30 days of paying their deposit. While we prefer that all immunizations be uploaded within this timeframe, the balance must be uploaded by December 1 of the P1 year in order to be eligible to be participate in their Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPEs).
