Meningococcal Disease

The State of Oklahoma has enacted an immunization requirement for college and university students who live in campus housing.

Effective with the Fall 2004 semester, all new students, (including transfer students and graduate students), are required to comply with Section 3243 of Oklahoma Statutes Title 70.  This requires that students who live in campus housing comply with one of the following options:

••• Option A:  Be immunized for meningococcal disease

OR

••• Option B:  After having reviewed information about meningitis provided by

                           OSU, decline the vaccination.

These choices will be part of the housing contract provided by OSU Residential Life and this must be completed prior to being allowed to move in.   To read more about meningitis and the vaccine click here.

THIS ONLY APPLIES TO STUDENTS LIVING IN CAMPUS HOUSING!!!
