See below for our most common IMMUNIZATION COMPLIANCE FAQ’s
Do I need to get the NEW COVID vaccine to be COMPLIANT this year?
- Yes, to comply with the NEW UC Policy requirements, ALL students, staff, and faculty will need to have the 2024-2025 COVID-19 Vaccine.
- Unfortunately, all previously received COVID-19 vaccines and Boosters received prior to September 2024 do not qualify, and your status will be seen as “Not Compliant”.
- The Deadline for receiving the NEW COVID-19 vaccine is by December 6th, 2024.
- The 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine is available at the UCI-Student Health Center. You can book your appointments online using this link.
- Vaccine appointments can also be scheduled with our UCI Campus Albertsons and Ralphs Vaccine clinics: 2024-2025 here.
I submitted my COVID Declination Letter, why am I still “Not Compliant”?
- With over 13,000 students starting with us this Fall, the vaccine compliance module does take some time to update.
- Complete our new and improved annual COVID-19 and annual Influenza vaccine declinations from your Student Health Portal. You will need to submit a declination, each year.
- Many college campuses have seen a dramatic surge in COVID cases amongst newly entering students, and if the numbers increase here at UCI, you may want to reconsider receiving the NEW COVID-19 vaccine for better protection.
I don’t know how to upload my records through the Student Health Portal.
- Most of our incoming students have received at least some of the required vaccinations, and we want to be sure you get credit for them! Please follow the step- by-steps instructions on how to upload and enter your vaccines.
I am an International Student; how shall I enter my records?
- Even if your childhood vaccinations were received outside the US, we want to be sure you get credit for each of them! Vaccination and TB testing records need to be translated in English. Enter them into your Student Health Portal by following the directions here.
What if I can’t find ALL my Childhood Immunization Records?
- If you are not sure if you have all your records, there is a way to check if your State Registry (California, Washington, Hawaii, Texas, New York, etc) may have your records on file. CLICK HERE and go to the last section “How the Obtain Copies of Your Immunization Records”
I’m confused about TB Testing. What should I do?
- With regards to the TB Screening, click this link and see the information
- Students must complete the TB Risk Screening Form online via the Student Health Patient Portal prior to their appointments.
- If you require a TB blood test (e.g., T-Spot or Quantiferon Gold), you may submit a request online through the Student Health Patient Portal.
- Click on "Messages" on the left navigation bar and follow the prompts to compose and send a secure message to SHC.
- Select the option: Order a Tuberculosis (TB) blood test (T-Spot) at the Lab.
