Required Vaccinations
All students must meet the University of Minnesota’s immunization requirements. Your vaccination requirements depend on your college or program.
Vaccine Requirements
Academic Health Sciences Students
Some Academic Health Sciences (AHS) students have additional immunization requirements. Please review the Vaccination and Immunization Policy for Learners in the Health Sciences and check if your program requires additional AHS requirements. If it does, you must complete the AHS Immunization Form.
- Fill out the Academic Health Sciences (AHS) Immunization Form fully. The AHS form must be signed at the bottom by the healthcare provider who reviewed and attested to vaccination information.
- Email your completed AHS Immunization Form to [email protected] (forms will only be accepted via email). Medical records will not be accepted in place of a fully signed form.
- If you are non-compliant in one area and need to update a specific vaccination, a new form must be filled out with information specific to that immunization. Only the updated information needs to be updated on the new form.
