Immunizations
The university requires two doses of the MMR vaccine administered on or after the first birthday. Additionally, it is strongly recommended, though not mandatory, to receive three doses of the Hepatitis B vaccine and the meningitis vaccine. Students are required to provide written, physician-certified immunization documentation containing their name and date of birth, translated if necessary. Alternatively, if immunization records are unavailable, evidence of immunity can be shown by submitting a TITER test. The MMR TITER test is a blood test that checks for antibodies related to Measles, Mumps and Rubella.
While the Hepatitis B and Meningococcal Meningitis vaccines are highly recommended, they are not mandatory. However, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University strongly encourages all students to receive these vaccinations. If you choose to decline these vaccines, please contact Health Services at 386-226-7917 or dbwaiver@erau.edu to request a waiver for Hepatitis B and Meningococcal Meningitis to be added to your health portal.
Certain countries require a TB screening, which must be completed three months prior to your academic start date. Early TB screenings will not be accepted. You can complete a PPD skin test, QuantiFERON lab draw or a chest X-ray to fulfill this requirement.
Regarding the MMR vaccine, it is mandatory. If you wish to decline the MMR vaccine, you will need to obtain a religious exemption from your health department or a medical exemption. Once you have obtained these exemptions, please contact Health Services at 386-226-7917 or dbhealth@erau.edu to inform them of your exemption and request the immunization waiver to be added to your health portal.
You can submit your immunization records through the Immunization History Form in your Health Portal.
Once you are on campus, you can complete a TITER test or TB screening (QuantiFERON lab draw) at any time by visiting Health Services Monday to Friday before 3:00 p.m. for lab pick-ups.
Your high school — or another college or university — will likely have this information on file.
Alternatively, you may take a blood titer test that will indicate your immunities to Measles, Mumps, Rubella. You will submit your laboratory report in your Health Portal in the Immunization History Form.
You can request copies of your existing health records by visiting our office in Building 500 at The Wellness Center (located across the parking lot from Doolittle Hall), or by completing the Records Release form and returning it via mail, fax, or email. Please note that your signature must be notarized in order for us to release your information.
Additionally, you can view your immunization records anytime by logging into your Health Portal.

How can I locate an FAA medical examiner?
Flight students wishing to medically ground must first contact their flight instructor AND may come to Health Services, or do so electronically and submit a query before your activity start time. Phone calls to Health Services are not applicable to ground or unground from flights.
This is accessible in ETA under the “Links” icon.
(Links > Request For > Ground > Ground Type > Medical Check Statement of Understanding and submit query)
Information will be electronically stamped for the date and time of submission. You, the Flight Department and Health Services will receive an email confirmation of the medical ground. You will be required to go to Health Services during business hours to support your flight ground. If Health Services is closed or if you are not well enough to come in, you must then be seen on the next business day to avoid a “no show.”
To become un-grounded (minimum of 24 hours from initial request), you must return to Health Services to be seen and evaluated. A nurse will document your release time in ETA.
For questions regarding the policy for flight groundings, please email MCCANDD3@erau.edu.
