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 Â鶹AV 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.

Since Fall 2013 semester, Â鶹AV has implemented Tuberculosis (TB) testing for all Non-US Citizen/Non-Permanent Residents, and any student, faculty or staff meeting high-risk criteria. Students must meet the following criteria to be eligible for enrollment:
Students are not eligible to register for classes unless they have provided evidence of having had one of the following, no greater than 6 months prior to their arrival to the University:
All documentation for testing done outside the Student Health Center must include:
If any of the above information is missing from the documentation, the student will not be eligible for enrollment until all deficiencies are corrected and turned in to the Student Health Center.
All documentation will be turned in to the Student Health Center via the Health Center patient portal at .
TB skin testing is available at the Â鶹AV Student Health Center (SHC). Two appointments, 48 hours apart, are required for TB testing. Students with a positive skin test will be given the blood test, which may take up to a week to result, further delaying the student’s registration/attendance in class. The Student Health Center is located at 857 E. Virginia, and can be reached via telephone at 409 - 880 - 8466. The Student Health Center will provide a list of alternative medical sites which also provide TB skin testing should students prefer to be tested elsewhere. This list is included above, under "Additional Clinics".
All students with a positive TB blood test will be referred to the Beaumont City Health Department (BCHD). All charges incurred at the BCHD or any other outside medical facility will be the responsibility of the student, faculty, or staff. Failure to comply will result in the student prohibited from continuing their studies.
Anyone (student, faculty, or staff) traveling to a country designated as a “high incidence area” defined greater than or equal to 20 cases per 100,000 population by the World Health Organization (WHO), upon returning to campus, should immediately contact the SHC for TB testing. All subsequent testing guidelines shall apply. All charges incurred will be applied to the appropriate Banner account.Page updated 12/5/2023
