Immunization Policy
The following immunizations are strongly recommended for all Calvin Seminary students and their dependents:
- Infant Series DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus)
- Tetanus booster (within the last 10 years)
- Polio Series
- 2 MMR's (measles, mumps, and rubella)
- Hepatitis B Series (series of 3 shots)
- Chicken pox (anyone older than 12 who has not had chicken pox needs 2 doses of vercilla vaccine; anyone younger than 12 who has not had chicken pox needs 1 dose)
- TB Skin Test
Not as urgent, but also recommended are:
- Meningitis Vaccine
- Flu Shot
Students or dependents who have immunization deficiencies should get the needed immunizations preferably before they come to Calvin Seminary, and if that is not possible, as soon as possible after they arrive.
