Immunizations
Each of these immunizations is required for all nursing programs as part of the admissions process.DPT (Diptheria/Pertussis/Tetanus) MMR (Measles/Mumps/Rubella) Hepatitis B
You are encouraged to begin the 3-dose Hepatitis B series 6 months in advance of your admissions to a Lone Star College health care program. You will be required to have your Hepatitis B immunizations completed before you attend clinicals.
All students in health occupation courses who will be in direct patient contact are required to have documented evidence of current immunizations against a range of diseases and must pass an annual tuberculosis screening before beginning their clinical experience. Once accepted into the program, students must use the Documentation of Required Immunizations to verify their coverage. Documentation of immunizations are not required at the time of application but will be requested after students have been admitted. Specifics will be outlined at the new student orientations.
Hepatitis B
The Hepatitis B vaccine is given in three separate doses over a two to six month period. The series must be completed before any student is allowed to participate in a clinical class. As this requirement is now state law, no exceptions can or will be made. Since the Hepatitis B series takes six months to complete, we advise prospective students to at least begin this series before turning in their nursing admissions application.
