Mandatory Shots for University

Question

I will be attending the University of Toronto in the fall and living in residence. What shots or vaccinations do I need to get before I get there? I can't find it on the web anywhere.

Answer 1

You DON"T need to have them done AT ALL!! It's call an exemption. All states have medical exemptions, all but 2 or 3 have religious exemptions (religion is defined as a strong personal belief) and a few states have philosophical exemptions.

Read the book, "Vaccines: Are they Really Safe and Effective?" By Neil Z. Miller and decide for yourself. It's only about 100 pages with charts. You can buy it off amazon.com for cheap and the information ins invaluable!!

****It quotes data from the Center for Disease Control, American Medical Association & numerous medical journals and reports such as the New England Journal of Medicine. It has over 900 references to reknown medical publications and/or medical professionals.****

I am reading it and I am confident in my decision.

He also has a book called "Vaccine Safety Manual: For Concerned Families and Health Professionals" that I will be reading next.

Answer 2

In the US, it varies by the state the university is in.  If you have a question, I would call the health clinic (the number is on the website) and ask them.  If you have a chance, I'd include the meningitis  also. My daughter's school didn't require it-but after they had an outbreak a few years ago, I was very glad she had it!  

Good luck!

Answer 3

If you're going to the University of Toronto, all you need to show is your immunization records and you have to get a meningitis shot.  I'm not sure if you're an American student or Canadian, but I do know that the standard immunization shots for an American student are accepted at the Univ. of Toronto - and you can also get the meningitis shot here and have your doctor sign a release form or fax over proof.
