Re-Elect Jim Moeller

2003-2004 Session

Summary

Higher education institutions, except for community and technical colleges, that maintain residential campuses must provide information regarding meningococcal disease to all enrolled, matriculated, first-time students. Community and technical colleges must only provide such information to students who are offered on-campus or group housing. The information must include: symptoms, risks, and treatment of the disease; current meningococcal vaccination recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and locations where the vaccination can be received. Neither higher education institutions nor the Department are required to provide the vaccine to any student. Higher education institutions that have an electronic enrollment or registration program must provide the information electronically and have the student acknowledge receipt prior to completing electronic enrollment or registration.
