Where to Get Your Immunizations 

  • You should receive the required immunizations before you arrive at JHU. 
  • If you cannot obtain these before your arrival on campus, you may arrange to get immunizations at local pharmacies in the area or the JHU Primary Care clinics if you are eligible for services.
  • If you have JHU student health insurance, the required vaccines are covered 100% at most local pharmacies, including CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, etc.
  • In addition, many private health insurance plans cover the vaccines at local pharmacies.
  • Students will be subject to a $100 administrative fine (plus the cost of the vaccines without the JHU school health insurance) to have them completed at the JHU Primary Care Clinics, including move-in clinics.
  • International students who are unable to receive the TDAP vaccine in their home countries before coming on campus will have the administrative fine waived if TDAP is their only missing requirement.
  • Flu vaccine will be available on campus in the fall during flu season. Leave that immunization blank if prior to the flu season.
