Immunization Information

Click here for the required and recommended immunization checklist.

In an effort to maintain a healthy campus, 蜜桃社 has designated both required vaccines and highly recommended vaccines. These vaccines address diseases that are often seen on college campuses including COVID-19; measles, mumps, rubella; chickenpox; tuberculosis; whooping cough; meningitis; and influenza. Students are encouraged to satisfy Reed immunization requirements before arriving on campus. The Reed Health and Counseling Center (HCC) can also administer most of the required and highly recommended vaccines to students once students are enrolled and attending classes.
