HPV (Gardasil) Vaccine
Now available to eligible Naz students at no cost. Call for an appointment at 585-389-2500. For info: CDC website about HPV.
Flu Vaccine Clinics
Living in close contact with many others can lead to rapid spread of influenza, which typically sickens college students for eight days or more, so it's important to get vaccinated each year.
Now more than ever, it is imperative that all students and employees receive an annual influenza vaccine, unless they have a contraindication to the vaccine. While influenza vaccine does not protect against COVID-19, it may keep many in our community out of healthcare facilities, where they could be at increased risk of infection. Flu vaccine reduces unnecessary healthcare visits and hospitalizations and protects vulnerable populations at high risk of influenza complications. This includes people with underlying conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, those who are immunocompromised, and children under 5 years of age.
Flu shot clinics are open to faculty, staff, students, and family members over the age of 3 in the Porthole Lounge in Shults. The last clinic of the year is offered during Naz Weekend (includes family weekend). Flu clinic 2022 dates:
-
Sept. 13: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
-
Sept. 19: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
-
Sept. 27: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
-
Oct. 6: 4 p.m. - 8 p.m.
-
Oct. 22: 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Sign up through the Wegmans off-site clinics webpage by choosing a new appointment, selecting “Flu” under “Other Vaccines,” entering your desired date (using two-digit numbers for the month and day), zip code 14618, and selecting Nazareth.
If you can't make it to one of our on-campus clinics, there are alternate locations to get a flu shot:
PPD Clinics (TB Testing)
PPD Clinics are offered in August and September to nursing, PT, OT, and speech students for $15, cash (please bring exact change) or check. After tests are placed, you must return for them to be read 48 hours later.
Students, you can check the Student Health Portal to see if you have had a current PPD (within the past year) here at Nazareth.
Faculty, please call 585-389-2500 to set up a PPD clinic if you have a group of students needing PPD testing.
FAQs
Cost for services?
There is no charge to see a provider. However, all students are responsible for off-site lab fees, x-rays, and prescriptions incurred in association with care received. Individual out-of-pocket costs will be dependent on your insurance carrier
Confidentiality?
A student’s medical record at Health and Counseling Services is confidential. Information in the medical record is only released with the student’s request and written permission, or by judicial subpoena.The one exception to this is in a life-threatening situation when it may be necessary to release information on a need-to-know basis.
New York State Law requires that “medical records shall be retained in their original or legally reproduced form for a period of at least six years from the date of discharge” (10 N.Y. Comp Codes R. & Regs. 405.10). Health Counseling Services retains student records for 6 years after a student leaves the college, after that period of time the records are destroyed.
Information cannot and will not be released to anyone without prior written consent from the student.
According to federal privacy laws, parents do not have the right to know if or why their son/daughter has visited Health Services. If a student is 18 years old or older and has given us written permission to discuss care with parents/legal guardians, we will talk to them regarding only the issue(s) mentioned in a signed Authorization to Disclose Medication Information form. Long-term blanket Release of Information forms are not accepted. Written permission needs to be given each time a student wants Health and Counseling Services to discuss care with his/her parents or legal guardians.
Veterans benefits?
The usual fees for PPD skin test or the MMR vaccine is waived.
Medical excuse letters?
Nazareth's Health and Counseling Services does not issue notes, medical excuses, or visit verification, unless an illness/condition is expected to last longer than 3 days.
Responsibility for class attendance and completion of assignments rests primarily with students, who assume responsibility by communicating directly with faculty via email or phone.
How do I complete my nursing health review?
