The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires documentation of certain immunizations, or proof of immunity, to certain illnesses (see page 2 of the health report) for all full-time students enrolled in Massachusetts, regardless of age or degree status. As with all vaccinations, students may request an exemption for medical or religious reasons by following the steps outlined in this memo.
NEC recommends members of our community have up to date COVID-19 vaccinations (completion of the primary series plus one booster vaccination when eligible.)
