Welcome to the official Meningococcal Vaccine Waiver form for Capitol Technology University Residence Life!
Choosing to waive the Meningitis Vaccine MUST be accompanied by a review of the Meningitis Vaccination Info sub-section in the Resident Health Information section in the MyCapitol Portal > Residence Life tab. The purpose of this is to provide information on the risk of meningococcal disease and the effectiveness and availability of the vaccination. Before occupancy, all residents assigned to live in Innovators Hall MUST complete either the Meningococcal Vaccine Form or the Meningococcal Waiver Form.
Per Section 15 of the Annual Year Housing License:
"REQUIRED MENINGITIS VACCINE FOR LICENSEES. Maryland state law requires that students residing in university housing be vaccinated against meningitis. Licensee may elect to waive this requirement if Licensee (and parent/guardian if Licensee is under 18 years of age) receives detailed information on the risks associated with meningitis and the availability and effectiveness of any vaccine; and, Licensee (and parent/guardian, if Licensee is under 18 years of age) signs a waiver stating that Licensee (and parent/guardian, if Licensee is under 18 years of age) has received and reviewed information provided and has elected not to receive the meningitis vaccine. Proof of vaccination or waiver must be on file in the Office of Student Life prior to Occupancy."
