Dear Incoming Student,
The Student Health Center and University Counseling services, operated in partnership with
Complete Family Medicine, a service of Hannibal Regional - a not-for-profit health system,

assists the University in obtaining the necessary immunization information required by the
state of Missouri.

REQUIRED IMMUNIZATIONS
A full list of required and recommended immunizations can be found on the Medical History
Form. A few specific highlights that we’d like to point out:
• Per Missouri Statute 174.335, ALL students residing in residence halls, university
apartments and any fraternity or sorority housing MUST have received their
Meningitis A, C, Y and W vaccine (Menactra or Menveo) PRIOR to move in. The vaccine
must have been given within the past five years and on or after the student’s 16th
birthday. Failure to comply with this state requirement will result in delays in moving
into the student’s housing.

• Truman policy also requires proof of immunization against measles, mumps and rubella -
often given together as the MMR vaccine. This is a series with the first shot given at or after
age one year and the second given at least 28 days after the first one. Individuals opting out
of this immunization for medical reasons must provide titer results documenting immune
status.
• Per Missouri Statute 199.290, all new students are screened for tuberculosis. Truman’s
screening is located on the enclosed Medical History Form. The Missouri law states that,
“Any entering student of an institution of higher education in Missouri who does not comply
with the targeted testing program shall not be permitted to maintain enrollment in the
subsequent semester at such institution.” Therefore, failure to complete the Medical History
form in full, including the TB screening, will result in a hold on the student’s registration for
second semester classes.
HEALTH SUPPLIES YOU SHOULD BRING WITH YOU TO SCHOOL
Attached is a checklist of basic health supplies which we recommend that you should bring
with you to college. A thermometer (either manual or electronic) is an essential. We recommend
bringing basic medications such as fever and pain reducers, cough and cold medicines, and any
prescription or other routine medications you take. A lockbox is recommended for controlled
medications if you require them. If you have asthma, it is recommended that you bring your
nebulizer and peak flow equipment. Students who choose to continue ongoing allergy
immunotherapy or other medication injections at the Student Health Center must contact the
Student Health Center to make arrangements prior to arrival on campus.
Again, we welcome you to the Truman State University community and we hope to help keep
you healthy so that you may thrive academically. If either you or your parents have any questions
regarding the requirements listed above, please do not hesitate to contact the Student Health
Center at 660-785-4182.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jordan Palmer
