The Wisconsin Act 61 requires all colleges and universities in Wisconsin to annually provide each enrolled student with detailed information on the risks associated with the Meningococcal Disease and Hepatitis B and the availability and effectiveness of vaccines against the diseases. We encourage all students to review this information provided above and consider vaccination if you have not already done so.
If you live in a university residence hall, you are required by state law, Act 61, to inform the university whether or not you have been vaccinated against hepatitis B and meningococcal disease. You can comply with this notification requirement by completing the Residence Hall Data Sheet (provided below).
For other immunizations and/or travel immunizations check with your provider.
