New Mexico Highlands University Vaccination Policy
Immunizations are not required for admission to New Mexico Highlands University, however, they are recommended. The meningitis vaccine (Menectra) is strongly recommended for first-time students who will be living in the campus residence halls. Two doses of the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine and the Varicella (chickenpox) is needed to protect students from these very contagious diseases. We also recommend an annual influenza vaccine.
