Immunization Policy and Form
If you attend Valley, you must have medical documentation of receiving the Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) and Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (TDAP) vaccinations. You are also required to receive the Meningococcal Quadrivalent (Meningitis) vaccination or have a signed waiver yearly if you live on campus; Missouri law requires that students residing on-campus be advised of the dangers of Meningitis and the effectiveness of the Meningitis vaccine.
If you are an international student coming from a country that is considered endemic for Tuberculosis (TB), or if you are a domestic student that has traveled abroad or you have other risk factors, a Mantoux Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) or Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) must be administered by a licensed medical doctor and reported accordingly. If you are showing signs of TB disease or have a latent form of the disease, we require additional testing to ensure your TB is not currently active and you will be precluded from attending if you have active TB.
If you request exemption from any vaccination requirements for religious or other purposes you must obtain a waiver request from the Dean of Students. You will be required to explain your need for exemption (i.e. particular religious beliefs) and provide documentation from a licensed medical doctor attesting that you do not currently have Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Meningitis, or Tuberculosis. We reserve the right to deny any exemption waiver. In the event of disease outbreak for any of the diseases that vaccination is required, students that are approved for exemption will be immediately removed from campus to prevent the possible spread of disease and will not be granted special opportunity to complete coursework or receive monetary refund. This requirement is to ensure the safety of the exempted student and the entire campus community.
If you fail to adhere to the immunization requirements, you will not be permitted to move into housing nor start classes.
- Tuberculosis screening must be completed yearly. All incoming and returning students required to complete this form.
