Vaccinations

Platt College does not offer residential housing, nor is it a public institution, therefore it is not required to maintain a Vaccination Policy for our students.

In the interest of public health, however, we do not want to discourage any student, employee, or staff member from voluntarily participating in routine vaccinations as recommended by and according to the guidance of local public health care agencies.

In addition, because of potential career related exposure to blood borne pathogens, students enrolled in Health Programs such as Medical Assisting can expect to be required to have Hepatitis B vaccinations as a condition of their externship placement and future employment in a healthcare setting. All MA students who elect to waive this vaccination must sign a waiver form that will be kept on file with their program director.
