The Indiana State Department of Health gratefully acknowledges the efforts
of the university staff members who had the major task of implementing
this law at their respective institutions.
Preface
In 1993, the Indiana General Assembly enacted legislation,
implemented in 1995 (IC 20-12-71), requiring new full-time students
attending classes at a residential public postsecondary institution
to document immunity against five diseases preventable by vaccination.
As a result of this law, six universities (Ball State University, Indiana
State University, Indiana University, Purdue University, the University
of Southern Indiana, and Vincennes University) require matriculating
students to document proof of immunity to measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus,
and diphtheria. The law requires the universities to designate a record-keeping
office who will maintain records on all full-time matriculating students
and identify those students who are exempt from providing proof of immunity
for religious or medical reasons. Students are to be denied second
semester enrollment if they do not provide the proper documentation
of immunity. The six universities are also required to submit individual
reports, indicating the immune status of their students, to the Indiana
State Department of Health on an annual basis. The present report, “University
Immunization Rates in Indiana” prepared by the Indiana State Department
of Health, summarizes the data received from the universities for the
2001-2002 school year.
