Immunizations

All students on F-1 visa status are required to have the Georgetown University STINT health insurance plan.

In addition, every English Language Center student must have a doctor complete all or parts of the Immunization and Tuberculosis Screening Certificate. All students must have a tuberculosis skin test within 12 months of starting the program.

• Students under 26 years of age must have their doctor complete the entire certificate and provide documentation for the following:
  1. Tetanus/Diphtheria: 1 dose within 10 years
  2. Hepatitis B: 3 doses
  3. Measles, Meningitis, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella: 2 doses
• Students under the age of 18 must additionally present documentation for Polio.
• Students over 26 years of age only need to have a doctor complete sections III and IV of the certificate.

Please bring the completed forms with you to Orientation on the first day. You are strongly encouraged to get these immunizations in your country. If you do not provide proof of immunization, you will be required to receive the vaccinations at Georgetown. These vaccinations can be expensive, and the Georgetown University health insurance plan does not cover the cost of these. If you have questions about required immunizations, please consult Georgetown's Student Health Services website.
