Immunization
Immunization Policy
In an effort to protect the students, faculty, and staff of all Louisiana schools, the Louisiana Legislature in regular session, 1990 passed ACT No. 1047 which amended and re-enacted R.S.17:170, relative to immunization of persons attending schools.
Louisiana law now requires immunization against measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus-diphtheria and meningitis for all ULM students born after 1956. Students will not be permitted to register until they have provided immunization records or have provided a complete exemption form.
The following guidance is presented for the purpose of implementing the requirements of Louisiana R.S. 17:170 and of meeting the established recommendation for control of vaccine-preventable diseases as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to the United States Public Health Service, and the American College Health Association.
REQUIRED VACCINATIONS:
MMR Requirement: Two (2) doses of live vaccine given at any age, except that the vaccine must have been given on or after the first birthday, in 1968 or later, and without immune globulin. A second dose of measles vaccine must meet this same requirement, but should not have been given within 30 days of the first dose. A history of physician diagnosed measles is acceptable for establishing immunity.
Tetanus-Diphtheria Requirement: One (1) dose of Tdap/Td received within the past ten (10) years.
Meningoccal Requirement: One (1) dose MenACWY (Menveo or MenQuadfi) vaccine after age the of 16.
Louisiana R.S. 17:170 provides that no person seeking to enter any school shall be required to comply with these provisions if the student or his parent or guardian submits either a written statement from a physician stating the procedure is contraindicated for medical reasons, or a written dissent from the student or his parent or guardian is presented. (Waiver)
In the event of an outbreak of a communicable disease at the location of an educational institution or facility, the administrators of that institution or facility are empowered, upon the recommendation of the Office of Public Health, to exclude from attendance unimmunized students and clients until the outbreak is declared over by the public health officials. For more information contact the Office of Admissions and Scholarships (318) 342-5430.
Mobility Impaired Parking Procedure
An Application for Mobility Impaired Parking Permit and a memo, which are to be presented to the attending physician, can be obtained from the University Police Department or they can be downloaded at https://webservices.ulm.edu/forms/get-form/829. Students must have their physician read carefully the memo and complete and sign the application which verifies their disability. Students must present the completed form to the University Police Department for approval. The University Police Department will provide students with a decal which designates the length of time they are eligible to receive mobility impaired parking. Students with temporary injuries who apply for mobility impaired parking will be assigned parking privileges for the anticipated length of recovery. Re-application for the permit is necessary if the condition persists beyond 90 days. For any impairment that is considered permanent by your physician, recertification must be done each Fall for the academic year.
