How to submit required student immunizations 

• Go through MyUI to Create a Med+Proctor account and follow the instructions to upload your records.
• Once you submit to Med+Proctor, it can take 1-3 days for full approval and/or removing registration holds, depending on the day of the week. 
• Using Med+Proctor is free; you do NOT have to pay any fee to upload your immunizations- it is your choice if you want to create a permanent storage file in Med+Proctor. 
• There should be no need to pay for an expedited review of your records in the Med+Proctor system if you do this submission well in advance of your assigned early registration time. If you wait too long, the expedited review will not benefit you.   
• If you have an official, valid religious or medical exemption form (must be current, not from childhood, signed by the student if over age 18), do not submit this through Med+Proctor, as they will not process it.  Email your official form (see below) to student-immmunizations@uiowa.edu

If you have questions, email us at student-immunizations@uiowa.edu or call us at IMU Nurse Care, 319-335-1395 and we will respond during business days.   

Forms you may need

• Health Requirements for All UI Students  (FOR YOUR REFERENCE)
• Release of Information Form and Important Instructions (not required- only needed if you want Student Health to release your protected health information to another entity)
• Consent to Obtain Information Form (not required- only needed if you want a healthcare provider to send Student Health your medical record history.  Generally no form is needed to request your immunizations from your provider- just call and have them fax/send or use a patient portal)
• Class Excuse Policy    (FOR YOUR REFERENCE)

Immunization exemptions

Submit ONLY if you are requesting an exemption to the UI immunization requirement because of a medical condition or religious belief.  Students age 18 and over must complete and sign their own religious exemption form, including having it notarized. 

• Iowa Department of Public Health Medical Exemption form
• Iowa Department of Public Health Religious Exemption form

Other situations and circumstances

• Athletic Training students (although in a health science program) do NOT need to send completed health science forms to Student Health at the email address listed above. You will send your forms in to your program coordinator. Student Health does need your MMR records if you did not previously attend the UI- those can be sent to student-immunizations@uiowa.edu
   
• All professional students starting a health science program (medical/PA, nursing, dental, EMT, speech pathology, physical therapy, radiation science, pharmacy) should not use Med+Proctor, but instead submit all records to student-immunizations@uiowa.edu
   
• If you received care in Iowa and can't locate an immunization record, you can request any available records from the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) using this record request form. Follow the submission instructions on the form.  Once you get the record from IDPH, you can upload this record form to Med+Proctor (as above).  This could be a way to get your COVID vaccine dates if you can't find your card.  

Health Science students

• Requirements for Health Science Students- These requirements are NOT for incoming first year (freshmen) students who want to eventually pursue a health science profession. They are needed before starting the first semester of Medical school, Nursing, Dental, Physical Therapy, Pharmacy, Physician Assistant, Radiation Science, EMT, Athletic Training and Speech Pathology programs.  They are not required for students in "pre-" or "interest" programs.  You will have time to complete once you are officially accepted into those programs! 
• OPTIONAL: Health Science Student Requirements Form -   Use of the form is optional (unless your program has directed you to use it) but you might find it very helpful to make sure you complete all the requirements- use it as a checklist/worksheet if not your records submission form.  Other documentation such as official immunization records and or/medical records will be accepted.  Titers and other lab tests require a copy of the lab results report to be sent.  
• Two-Step TST Protocol  (we need placement AND reading dates for your TST, in order to be accepted as valid.  If you are retrieving from UIHC ReadySet, make sure you submit both the Application record and the Reading record!)
• TST Reading Policy
• Hepatitis B Titer Protocol
• Health Screen Form (REQUIRED; included in the requirements form above; submit separately if not using the form)
• History of Positive TB Screening Results Form (only for those with history of positive TB screening result, if not completed at Student Health.  If you have a positive TB test history, please also send us records of your positive test- including a copy of your chest xray result/reading, and any treatment done for latent or active TB)
• Certain UI health science programs and rotation sites require an annual flu shot, and although the UI does not require COVID-19 vaccinations at this time, check with your program coordinator/ shadowing/rotation sites for any requirements they may have in place.
