<p>Hmm... so i'm really curious since it seems no one has mentioned anything about this, and some people i know who are also going to uci haven't done anything about this either. I'm just wondering how many of you filled out this form? <a href="http://www.shs.uci.edu/forms/Student_Packet_2008-2009.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.shs.uci.edu/forms/Student_Packet_2008-2009.pdf&lt;/a> requiring immunizations? Is it required as it says? When do we need to get this in by? </p>

<p>Thanks for any replies</p>

<p>yeah you should do it.</p>

<p>do it before school starts.</p>

3

<p>but do you know what the exact deadline to get it in by would be? would i be safe to have it in by the 25 when school starts? or do i need it in sooner?</p>

4

<p>just mail it to them earlier.</p>

<p>i don't really remember.</p>

5

<p>i did it. never heard anything back about it (is there any way to check?) so i'd assume it's okay. i think i read that you have to have it done by the first day of instruction</p>

6

<p>is it only for students who wish to waive out of school insurance??
also if not can we do it at school??</p>

<p>The immunization record is required by California law, and in theory you could have a hold put on your registration.. The reality is the Student Health service gets most of the forms at the last minute, so you'll have a grace period. Just mail or bring the form to Student Health (behind Middle Earth). If you have an official immunization record and attach a photocopy, you won't need the signature of a licensed medical professional. </p>

<p>Unless you're an intercollegiate athlete or dance major, you aren't required to have a physical exam.</p>

<p>There are two good reasons to have a record at Student Health.
1. For your safety -- for instance, if you're in an accident or exposed to meningitis.
2. For the safety of the community</p>

<p>You could have it done at Student Health, but there's a charge for it and you might have to repeat some shots.</p>
