IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEALTH ANNOUNCEMENT

On July 22, 2003, Governor Pataki signed New York State Public Health Law (NYS PHL) §2167 requiring that institutions, including colleges and universities, distribute information about meningococcal disease and vaccination to all students in order to meet enrollment criteria, whether they live on or off campus. This law became effective on August 15, 2003. In compliance with this NYS mandate, all students must complete a Meningitis response form and return it to the Wellness and Counseling Center.
