Additionally, state law requires that students who reside in on-campus housing be vaccinated against meningitis and submit evidence of having received a meningococcal conjugate vaccine not more than five years before enrollment as a condition of such residence. A copy of the statute is available at https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_185b.htm#sec_10a-155.

The College, following recommendations from the Connecticut Department of Health, requires Tuberculosis screening for all new students, both domestic and international. Connecticut College is also required by CT statute to provide information regarding meningitis and Hepatitis B infections and the benefits of vaccination.

Allergy Injections

Student Health Services at Connecticut College provides allergy shots that are followed by a community allergist from their hometown. This allows the student to continue to benefit from the care of their hometown physician while avoiding the time and expense of going home for each injection. Advanced Practice Providers staff Student Health Services. There is not a physician present. At any given time, we have patients cared for by many different allergists, each with their own order forms and labeling practices. The guidelines presented in our Allergy Packet were written with patient safety as the highest priority.
