Immunization

Safety considerations and procedures regarding disease are a primary consideration at Northwestern Health Sciences University. Prior to enrollment, students are required to submit written documentation that their health will permit them to meet the requirements of their chosen field. All students must provide a completed current health form, which, along with a signed technical standard form required of all students enrolled in health science programs, will be maintained in their files.

In an effort to control the spread of disease, Northwestern Health Sciences University conforms to Minnesota state requirements that all students have the following current testing and vaccinations:

Mantoux (within one year of starting date, and within three months of Clinical Training)
MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
Diphtheria/Tetanus/Pertussis booster (TDAP)
Hepatitis B (entire series)
Influenza (yearly, dependent upon season)
