Immunizations

USD is committed to creating a safe environment for its students.  To achieve this goal, we strongly recommend that all students be immunized to protect themselves and others from vaccine-preventable illnesses before they begin the academic year. 

 

Required Immunizations and Screening 

The University has recently instituted a policy requiring certain immunizations and screenings for ALL freshmen, transfer, international students, and anyone living on campus.  Failure to submit proof of required immunizations will result in a hold on registration for classes.  Click below for:

Getting Your Immunizations & Screenings

• The Student Health Center offers all of the required or recommended immunizations & screenings for a fee to cover the cost of the vaccine.  The fee must be paid at the time of service.  PLEASE NOTE:  The SHC cannot accept or bill your health insurance.  Click here for a list of fees for specific vaccines & screenings offered at the Student Health Center. 
• Additional voluntary immunizations are recommended and available at USD.  Learn more about these 'voluntary vaccines' by clicking here.
• To use private health insurance, students need to contact their insurance company to see IF the immunizations or screenings are covered, AND to find a participating provider off-campus for these services.
• Immunizations & screenings are also available at other locations in the San Diego area.  Click here for a list of alternate low-cost health care options.
