Requirements for
Bacterial Meningitis Immunization
Important Bacterial Meningitis Information
1. Read this section.
2. Sign the application form where you see the arrow ( ) to indicate
that you have read this information on bacterial meningitis
Immunization Requirements for New Students
New and transfer college students must be immunized against bacterial
meningitis before attending classes, according to the Jamie Schanbaum
and Nicolis Williams Act passed by the Texas Legislature.
All incoming freshmen, transfer students and returning students who did
not attend McLennan in the previous long semester (fall or spring) are
required to show proof of immunization against bacterial meningitis.
e law does not apply to students age 22 and over or to students who are
enrolled only in online classes.
McLennan students who are required to have the vaccination will
not be allowed to register until they provide proof of immunization
to Highlander Central in the Enrollment Services Center.
Documentation showing that the student has received the immunization
within the last ve years must be provided at least 10 days prior to the
rst day of the semester in order to register for classes. Students must
submit one of the following in order to be cleared for registration:
• the signature or stamp of a physician (or his/her designee) or public
health personnel on a form that shows the month, day and year the
vaccination dose or booster was administered.
• an ocial immunization record generated from a state or local health
authority.
• an ocial high school or college transcript that includes documenta-
tion of immunization provided by school ocials (including records
from other states).
Aer submitting proof of immunization, there will be a waiting period to
allow for the processing of immunization information before a student
will be cleared for registration.
Getting the Immunization
Students should get the bacterial meningitis vaccination from their
primary care physicians.
Students who are already established patients with Family Health Center
clinics can get the vaccination anytime during regular business hours: 8
a.m.-5 p.m., closed from noon to 1 p.m. for lunch. Appointments are not
necessary. Please call 254-313-5800 for more information.
About Meningitis
Bacterial meningitis is a serious, potentially deadly disease that can
progress extremely fast. It is an inammation of the membranes that sur-
round the brain and spinal cord. e bacteria that cause meningitis can
also infect the blood. is disease strikes about 1 in 20,000 people each
year with the highest incident rate in 16-25 year olds. ere is a
treatment, but those who survive may develop severe health problems or
disabilities.
Symptoms of bacterial meningitis include:
• High fever
• Rash or purple patches on skin
• Light sensitivity
• Confusion and sleepiness
• Lethargy
• Severe headache
• Vomiting
• Sti neck
• Nausea
• Seizures
ere may be a rash of tiny red-purple spots caused by bleeding
under the skin. ese can occur anywhere on the body. e more
symptoms, the higher the risk, so when these symptoms appear
seek immediate medical attention.
Diagnosis is made by a medical provider and is usually based on a
combination of clinical symptoms and laboratory results from spi-
nal uid and blood tests. Early diagnosis and treatment can greatly
improve the likelihood of recovery.
e disease is transmitted when people exchange saliva (such as
by kissing, or by sharing drinking containers, utensils, cigarettes,
toothbrushes, etc.) or come in contact with respiratory or throat
secretions.
Possible complications of the disease include:
• Permanent brain damage
• Kidney failure
• Learning disability
• Hearing loss, blindness
• Death (in 8 to 24 hours from perfectly well to dead)
• Limb damage (ngers, toes, arms, legs) that requires
amputation
• Gangrene
• Coma
• Convulsions
e disease can be treated with antibiotics, which – if received
early – can save lives and increase chances of recovery. However,
permanent disability or death can still occur. e vaccines available
are safe and highly eective.
You can get more information about bacterial meningitis from your
health care provider or the Waco-McLennan County Health District
at 254-750-5410.
IMPORTANT: You will NOT be allowed to register without proof of immunization
if the requirements apply to you.
