Immunization Record Completion

As a student registered for classes at George Mason University, you must be fully compliant with Mason’s and the Commonwealth of Virginia's immunization requirements. If you are lacking requisite immunizations, you must either provide proof of receiving all necessary vaccines, or take these vaccinations from Mason’s Student Health Clinic, your health care provider, or the health department.

Students are strongly encouraged to meet these requirements at home and return the completed form as soon as possible. The forms can be faxed or mailed to the Immunization Office.

Parents: please remember that if you send the forms to school with your student, there is a possibility they will be misplaced, forgotten, or lost. The transition from living at home to living on campus can be a hectic experience.

Immunizations can be obtained through local health departments in Virginia or through private health care providers. Students may also obtain all needed immunizations through Student Health Services. Vaccines are available on all George Mason University campuses by appointment only. Minimal fees are charged for all vaccines given.
