UAB - Students - Health - Immunizations

Which Immunizations do I need?

Medical clearance and immunization requirements differ depending on your program of study and when you began school at UAB. All immunizations can be received at the immunization clinic at Student Health Services. For the cost of each vaccine, visit our Fee Schedule.

All students who matriculated (began classes) prior to the Summer 2016 and used the web based medical clearance services provided by CertifiedBackground.com can log in to CertifiedBackground.com and retrieve their records. These records can then be submitted to Student Health Services via the Patient Portal under immunizations. If a student has difficulty logging in to CertifiedBackground.com and need their immunizations moved to their Patient Portal, please contact the Medical Clearance Department via the Patient Portal or by calling 205-975-7751 or 205-975-7753.

Because you are a non-clinical student taking only online courses (distance learning), with no on-campus classes, you are currently are exempt from the immunization/TB requirements. If in the future you register for a course that meets on campus, you will be required to satisfy the immunization requirements at that time.
