Students living in university-owned housing, any fraternity or sorority residence (regardless if privately owned), the Campus Christian House and the Evans Scholars House must comply with meningococcal requirements through one of the following ways: 

• Provide documentation of receiving meningococcal vaccine; either Men ACWY (Menactra, Menveo) or MPSV4 (Menomune). 

• First dose before the age of 16 are required to get a booster (on or after 16th birthday) with a minimum interval of at least eight weeks after the preceding dose. 

Note: To comply with MO SB 635, the university provides you a link to the meningococcal disease brochure developed by Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. This brochure has information about immunizations against this serious disease. 

Tuberculosis (TB) Testing

If you can answer “yes” to any of the five statements below, call the Student Health Center at 573-882-7481 as evaluation is required: 

• Have you lived for one month or longer in Asia, Africa, Central or South America or Eastern Europe? 

• Were you born in Asia, Africa, Central or South America or Eastern Europe? 

• Have you been a health care worker? 

• Have you volunteered or worked in a nursing home, prison or other residential institution? 

• Have you had contact with a person known to have active tuberculosis? 

The need for testing, such as a TB skin test or TB blood test, will be determined by risk factors and prior test results. If available, provide written documentation of TB testing (Mantoux skin test documented in millimeters of induration) within the past 12 months or prior TB blood test results done in the U.S. If prior treatment for active TB disease or latent TB infection has been completed, written documentation must be submitted
