DENISON, TX--College students may have to visit the doctor before they enroll next semester. The State of Texas now requires all students under 30 to get a meningitis vaccine.
Starting in January 2012, Grayson County College students will have to follow suit. Those who have already been vaccinated only need to show a proof of immunization.
"We really need to have them immunized and have proof of immunization," Shelle Cassell said, Grayson County College Director of Marketing/Public Information. There is an exception process that the state has put in place if you have religious beliefs or if you have a compromised medical condition."
The vaccination has always been required for students who live in residence halls. The Texas legislature recently extended the requirement to all students under the age of 30.
The Grayson County Health Department will give vaccinations to registered students for $25 at Grayson County College on January 6th.
