Health Records and Immunizations

• All full-time (first year and transfer) students are required to complete the following forms on the Lake Forest Student Health Patient Portal: medical history, immunization history, TB questionnaire and Consent to Treat (if under the age of 18 prior to the start of semester). Asigned/stamped copy of your immunization records must be uploaded into the portal for dates to be verified. It is important that you complete all necessary forms with proof into the Lake Forest Student Health Portal by July 15th. If forms are not submitted by July 15th. Students not in compliance with the immunization requirements during their first term of attendance are restricted from registering for subsequent terms until compliance is obtained. 

  • For requests for medical exemptions: Please ask your treating medical provider to write a letter (on official letterhead) indicating the nature and probable duration of the medical condition or circumstances that contraindicates this vaccination. Submit that letter as a PDF to the confidential health portal with your completed Health History Form. 
  • For requests for religious exemptions: Please fill out this the  religious exemption certificate. Submit that as a PDF with your completed Health History Form.

  COVID-19 Vaccination Information

  To support that goal of learning, living, teaching, and working together, all students (residential and commuter) are required to get a COVID-19 vaccine and booster in order to participate in the 2022-2023 academic year. This step is necessary to protect the health and safety of our community, and will allow us to relax some of the precautions that constrained the campus experience previously.  New students must be “up to date” by the time they arrive, which means having a primary vaccination series (two doses for Pfizer and Moderna or one dose for Johnson&Johnson), and having one booster as well if 5 months have passed since completion of the primary vaccine(s).
  
  Students who live in countries with no access to a vaccine this summer should email healthandwellness@lakeforest.edu by August 1 to arrange for a vaccine to be provided upon arrival to campus.
  

  Please log in to the Lake Forest College Student Health Portal promptly after your last dose (or after your single dose if you receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine) to submit proof of vaccination. The College will accept all vaccines approved by the US and students’ home countries. As with all vaccine requirements, students may request an exemption from the requirement for medical or religious reasons, and exemption requests should be submitted by July 15, 2022 for review by our medical team. 

  • For requests for medical exemptions: Please ask your treating medical provider to write a letter (on official letterhead) indicating the nature and probable duration of the medical condition or circumstances that contraindicates this vaccination.
