Student Health Services' primary function is to ensure all immunization requirements, mandated by the State of Rhode Island Department of Health are met, documented, and maintained.

Rhode Island law requires any student entering college full time (12 credits or more), any student studying on a visa, or any full- or part-time student in a health-related field of study to have the following immunizations or blood proof of immunity:

• One Tdap vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis)
• Two MMR vaccines (measles, mumps, rubella)
• Three-shot series of hepatitis B vaccine
• Two doses of varicella (chickenpox) vaccine or a statement signed by your health care provider stating that you have a history of chickenpox disease
• Meningococcal vaccine (strongly recommended for students under the age of 22)
• Students on a Visa from another country will need to show proof of a negative 2-part ppd or a negative TB Gold or IGRA blood test.

In the event students know they received vaccines but cannot obtain their vaccination records from either previous schools or physicians, they can obtain titers (lab tests for immunity). Students who wish to obtain titers can contact the Health Services office at nurse@ccri.edu or at 401-825-2103 for information. If the student is 19 or younger and has attended high school in the US and was enrolled in a statewide immunization program, the Health Services office may be able to access student immunization records on the state site.
