Health Center - Sandpiper - 825-2601 - www.tamucc.edu/%7Ehsweb/
Feeling ill? Head to Health Services and they will offer the same advice as your family doctor. Confidential services are provided by nurses, nurse practitioners, and doctors. Office visits are free! There are minimal costs for supplies and tests when ordered. A pharmacy is on site, so you can get medication discounted from retail cost without going off campus. They also offer various immunizations, such as the flu shot, meningitis, Hepatitis B, and others. If you are sick, need help developing a healthy diet and exercise plan, want to stop smoking or need to get a physical, this is the place to go!

Texas state law requires that all new students receive and submit confirmation of receiving meningitis information prior to enrollment. All new students must submit signed proof of receipt of this information. If we do not have this on file, a hold will be placed on registration until a confirmation of this information is received. The document called "Important Information about Bacterial Meningitis" is provided to all new college students in Texas . Bacterial Meningitis is a serious, potentially deadly disease that can progress extremely fast - so take utmost caution. This disease strikes about 3,000 Americans each year, including 100-125 on college campuses, leading to 5-15 deaths among college students every year. There is a treatment, but those who survive may develop severe health problems or disabilities. "Important Information about Bacterial Meningitis" reviews the symptoms of disease, disease transmission, risks, consequences, treatment, and how you can obtain more information. You can receive your copy of this document by calling 825-2601. Vaccination against Bacterial Meningitis is available at the Health Center for a fee.

The University recommends that students keep their immunizations current. Recommended immunizations are Tetanus/Diphtheria (Td) in the last 10 years, two doses of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR), the Hepatitis B and Hepatitis A vaccination series, Varicella and Meningitis vaccination. Certain academic programs have immunization requirements specific to their program and some campus jobs also have requirements. Check with your advisors or employers on these requirements. The vaccines are available in the Health Center for a fee. Submitted immunization records to the Health Center will be reviewed to ensure they are current and maintained so that you can easily retrieve this information should you need it for academic programs or employment requirements.

It could be the most useful 'course' you will ever take!
