All New UC Davis Students Must Fulfill the Following Health Requirements

UC Immunization and Tuberculosis (TB) Risk Screening

All incoming new, transfer and graduate students, including students in the Veterinary Medicine and School of Nursing programs, are required to meet the UC Immunization and TB Risk Screening requirement.

These include:

2 MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccines, or positive titer for each disease
2 Varicella vaccines
1 Adult TDAP
1 meningococcal vaccine (Menactra, Menomune, or Menveo)

Students become compliant with this requirement by entering their vaccination dates, uploading a copy of their immunization records, and completing the TB Risk Screening Questionnaire via Health-e-Messaging.

Tutorial: Step-by-Step Instructions

If you are found to be at higher risk for TB, your medical provider must complete the TB Health Assessment form. Once completed, it must be uploaded via Health-e-Messaging.

View the official University of California Immunization policy.

Any additional program specific requirements can be found in the program's student handbook/syllabus.

Health Insurance

All UC Davis students are required to have health insurance. In order to satisfy this requirement, all students are automatically enrolled in the University of California Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP).

If you already have comparable insurance coverage, and do not wish to be enrolled in UC SHIP, you must apply for a UC SHIP waiver by the posted waiver deadline date.

Approved waiver applications are only valid for the academic year in which they are submitted. A new waiver application is required to be submitted prior to the start of the new academic year.

The services at SHCS are available to all students, even if you waive enrollment in UC SHIP.
