(Yale University Undergraduate Students) Welcome to Yale University! We are eager to help you to meet the immunization requirements related to university admission. Below are answers to those questions which are most frequently asked by students. Connecticut (CT) State law requires that all students admitted to any university located in Connecticut comply with the CT State Immunization Regulations. Obtaining the necessary immunizations and documentation is a Yale University pre-entrance requirement and must be completed before you arrive on campus. All students are financially responsible for all pre-entrance immunizations and blood tests. Documentation of the required vaccines must be completed and signed by your healthcare provider which may be your doctor, nurse practitioner or physicians assistant.
