Immunizations

Who needs to provide proof of immunizations before enrolling at Foothill College?

At the current time, US Citizens do not need to provide proof of any immunizations.  International Students must provide written proof of having received the following vaccines:

  • Measles, Mumps, and Rubella
  • Tuberculosis (TB) Skin Test

See immunization list below for information about both.

Immunizations

If you are in need of any immunizations, they are available to all registered Foothill College students at Instant Urgent Care.

(Prices listed below are estimated and subject to change at any time.)

Vaccination Risks

Are you concerned about health risks from any vaccine?
  • Vaccines are among the safest medicines available. Two common side effects are a sore arm or a low-grade fever.
  • A vaccine, like any medicine, is capable of causing a severe allergic reaction. However, the potential risks associated with diseases these vaccines prevent are much greater than the potential risks associated with the vaccines themselves.
  • However, if you are pregnant or are likely to become pregnant within 3 months, you should not receive the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine.
If You Have a History of Allergic Reactions

Please let us know in advance if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a medication.
