Availability: Meningitis vaccines are available at the SHC subject to stock availability. All prices are subject to change.
Records: The latest information regarding the bacterial meningitis vaccine is available on the Office of Admissions and Recruitment web site. The Student Health Center has the vaccine in stock and will administer the shot to students who have been accepted to ذكذكتسئµ University but still have a vaccine hold on their student accounts. An appointment must be made and the vaccine paid for before the immunization is administered. Please call (409) 880-8466 to make an appointment. Other sources for the vaccine include pharmacies, doctor's offices, and clinics.
Meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV-4) covers 4 strains of meningitis (A, C, Y, W) and meets the state requirements for admission into an institution of higher education. Although highly recommended, the Meningitis-B vaccine does not meet the state recommendations, nor is it required for admission.
Your vaccination record should be turned into:
