Immunization Requirements

Documentation of required immunizations is a very important matter for all health care professionals and something you will be required to do throughout your career. Students at the UNC School of Medicine are required to meet immunization requirements set by the State of North Carolina AND additional requirements established by the School of Medicine.Campus Health Services will contact you regarding your State requirements.

School of Medicine health and safety requirements are detailed in the Health, Safety, and Immunization Policy. Your acceptance to the UNC School of Medicine is contingent upon your completion of the immunization requirements and submission of the documentation by August 5, 2024, except for the seasonal flu vaccine (due September 20 annually) and the full, complete Hepatitis B series (due December 31 of your first year). Students admitted after July 1, 2024 will be allowed an extended deadline, but must contact our Health and Safety Coordinator at healthandsafety@med.unc.edu.
