1 Dear Roanoke College Student: Congratulations on your acceptance and decision to attend Roanoke College. We at Health Services look forward to serving your needs and wish you the best of luck as you begin your education. Every new full time, or transfer student entering the college is REQUIRED to properly complete and return this health record. The tuberculosis risk assessment and if indicated the tuberculin skin test (PPD) must be within twelve months prior to entrance to Roanoke College. The physical must be within twelve months prior to entrance to Roanoke College. Please carefully read the list of required immunizations to be sure that you have complied fully with state and college requirements. Commonwealth of Virginia Law (Code of Virginia, Section ) requires that all full time students submit an immunization history that has been signed by a health care provider who documents all required immunizations. FAILURE TO RECEIVE ALL THE REQUIRED IMMUNIZATIONS AND TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION WILL BLOCK YOU FROM FINAL REGISTRATION FOR CLASSES. In addition to the required immunizations, there are two recommended vaccines: Varicella (chickenpox) if you have not had the disease and Gardasil, a vaccine for girls and women age 9 26 which offers protection against diseases caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). Students are exempt from the immunization requirements if a medical contraindication or religious belief prohibits immunization. A signed statement from a health care provider is required for exemption. This form is available on our website. Those born before 1957 are also exempt from the requirement for measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine. Many services are provided to students at no cost. Expenses incurred for prescription medication, physicals, immunizations, allergy injections, in house laboratory procedures, or off campus doctor visits, x rays, laboratory procedures, emergency room visits, or hospitalizations are the student s responsibility. Parents and students are encouraged to review health insurance prior to arrival to ensure the policy provides adequate coverage while living in Salem, VA.

5 MENINGOCOCCAL AND HEPATITIS B DISEASE RISKS AND VACCINATION The Commonwealth of Virginia requires that all incoming full time students at Roanoke College be vaccinated against meningococcal disease and, as of March 20, 2005, also Hepatitis B disease. Those who choose not to be vaccinated must sign a waiver indicating that they have received information on the risks of meningococcal and Hepatitis B diseases and the availability and effectiveness of the vaccines. Please review the information below which provides information and the availability of an effective vaccine for both diseases. Complete the documentation required on the immunization record by indicating the date on which you were vaccinated or by signing the waiver. Incoming undergraduate and transfer students who have not provided additional required vaccination documentation or signed the waiver(s) will be prevented from getting first choice when registering for classes. Meningococcal disease is a potentially fatal bacterial infection commonly referred to as meningitis. Meningococcal disease is rare; however its initial flu like symptoms make diagnosis difficult. If not treated early, the disease can lead to brain damage, vital organ failure, permanent disability and even death. Cases of meningococcal disease among teens and young adults 15 to 24 years of age have more than doubled since Recent studies indicate that college students living in residence halls and particularly freshmen residents are at increased risk of infection. An estimated 100 to 125 cases of meningococcal disease occur on college campuses each year. Of those students infected, as many as 15 may die. The meningococcal vaccine protects against four of the five strains of the bacteria which cause meningococcal disease (strains A, C, Y, and W 135). The vaccine is considered safe and is well tolerated with the most common side effect being soreness at the injection site. Hepatitis B is caused by a virus that attacks the liver. The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can cause lifelong infection, cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure, and death. HBV is spread when blood or body fluids from an infected person enters the body of a person who is not infected. Hep B is not spread through food or water, sharing eating utensils, hugging, kissing, coughing, sneezing, or by casual contact. HBV is spread through having sex with an infected person without using a condom or by sharing drugs or needles. Hep B vaccine is the best protection and is the first anti cancer vaccine because it can prevent a form of liver cancer. One out of 20 people in the United States will be infected with HBV sometime during their lives. The Hepatitis B vaccine is safe and effective and over 4 million adults in the United States have received the vaccine. The vaccination schedule most often used for adults has been three intramuscular injections, the second and third administered 1 and 6 months after the first. Additional information can be obtained on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website at (select meningococcal and/or Hepatitis B) or the American College Health Association website at 4
