Vaccines, also known as immunizations, train your immune system to produce antibodies (similar to what you body would do when exposed to a disease). By vaccinating against certain diseases, you give your body's natural defense system the opportunity to build protection against diseases that you may come in contact with over the course of your lifetime.
All students attending the university are required to be up-to-date on certain vaccines. Learn more about needed vaccines and how to upload your vaccine history.
Student Health Services provides all of the below listed vaccines by appointment.
CT State Law requires that a student attending Quinnipiac University maintain certain immunizations.
