Immunization Requirements

Aultman College encourages students to stay up-to-date on their immunizations to protect their health and the health of others, as well as to meet the requirements of our clinical partners.

Students are expected to maintain all health requirements according to their program of study. Falling behind on these requirements could prevent participation in clinical experiences.
