Policies Regarding Vaccinations

The Student Health Center provides clearances for the university admissions requirement. All new and re-admitted California State University students born after Jan. 1, 1957, are required to present proof of measles and rubella immunizations to the Student Health Center. The hepatitis B vaccine series is required of first time enrollees under the age of 19. However, you may be exempt for both of these requirements if you've graduated from a California public school during or after 2005. More detailed and specific requirements may be viewed on the CSUSB Student Health Center website, or may be obtained by calling (909) 537-5241.

CSUSB has joined the California Immunization Registry (CAIR), a computer-based immunization tracking system developed to assist medical providers and other approved agencies to track and review immunization information for individuals. CAIR assesses immunization needs, reminds/recalls patients, avoids unnecessary or redundant immunizations and controls disease outbreaks. Information in CAIR is only available to authorized providers/agencies, local health departments and the California Department of Public Health.

How does the CAIR program help you?

• It keeps track of all shots, so you don't miss any or get too many.
• It sends reminders when you need shots.
• It gives you a copy of the shot record from the doctor.
• It can show proof about shots needed to start school or a new job.

If you DO want your records in the registry, do nothing. You're all done.

If you DO NOT want your doctor's office to share your immunization information in the registry: Please request the "Decline or Start Sharing/Information Request Form" from the Student Health Center.
