Beginning in January 2012, all first-time college students and returning students who did not attend TSTC in the fall 2011 semester must be immunized against bacterial meningitis, according to the Jamie Schanbaum and Nicolis Williams Act signed by Gov. Rick Perry.
All incoming new, transfer and returning students who did not attend in the fall 2011 semester will be required to show proof of immunization against bacterial meningitis. The law does not apply to students age 30 and over or to students who are enrolled only in online classes. Students enrolled in online classes but who come to campus for any kind of labs, etc., are required to get immunized.
As a current TSTC student, you are NOT required to have the immunization. However, if you step out and then return at a later semester, you will be required to have the vaccination before returning.
For more information about the bacterial meningitis immunization, please call (254) 867-2360.
