Meningococcal and Hepatitis B Vaccinations

Meningococcal and Hepatitis B Vaccinations

According to The Ohio Revised Code Section 1713.55, all students who live on campus must disclose whether they have been vaccinated against Meningococcal Disease and Hepatitis B.

Please note that this law does not require vaccination of the student.  It only requires disclosure of vaccine status.  All new students will provide that information on their medical history forms.

For students who choose to be vaccinated, vaccines will be available in the Health Center.  There is a charge for each vaccination (note that the Hepatitis B vaccination is a series of three injections).  Please contact Ellen Kutz, Director of Student Support Services, for pricing and availability at (330) 490-7302 or via e-mail at ekutz@walsh.edu.

Specific information about Ohio Revised Code Section 1713.55 is available at http://onlinedocs.andersonpublishing.com/oh/lpExt.dll?f=templates&fn=main-h.htm&cp=PORC.

If you have questions about the housing assignment process, please contact the Director of Residence Life at reslife@walsh.edu (please note that Residence Life can clarify the expectations with regards to information disclosure but are unable to answer specific questions about either Meningococcal Disease and/or Hepatitis B).  If you have questions about Meningococcal Disease and/or Hepatitis B, please contact Ellen Kutz, Director of Student Support Services using the contact information listed above or visit the Centers for Disease Control website.
