Immunization

Health & Wellness Services
Campus Center (1C), Room 112
Phone: 718.982.3045

Proof of Measles, Mumps and Rubella immunization is required by law before registration for all students born on or after January 1, 1957, who are enrolling for 6 or more credits. Meningococcal meningitis vaccination is also required but you may opt to decline the requirement instead of receiving the vaccine using the Immunization Record Form. Immunization records can be obtained from previous schools attended and childhood vaccine records. 

Immunization forms should be given to the Health Center before your advisement and registration session. You may download the immunization forms at the following link: Immunization Record Form 

After you claim your CUNYfirst account, you can also submit your Immunization/Meningitis Acknowledgement form using CUNYfirst. 

Please Note: If you previously attended CSI or another CUNY institution and submitted this information, it may not necessary to do so again.
