What it requires

  • If you operate a public or private institution that offers a postsecondary degree and has a residential campus, provide vaccination information on meningococcal disease, including any recommendations of the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to each student on the student health forms, with space for the student to indicate whether the student has received the vaccination (G.S. 116-260(a)).
  • Keep the meningococcal vaccination information you obtain confidential; it is not a public record under G.S. 132-1 (G.S. 116-260(b)).

Each public or private educational institution that offers a postsecondary degree and has a residential campus must provide vaccination information on meningococcal disease to each student. The information must be contained on the student health forms the institution provides and include space for the student to indicate whether the student has received the vaccination. The vaccination information the institution holds under the section is confidential and is not a public record.

The section does not require the institution to provide the vaccination, does not apply once the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention no longer recommend the vaccine, and creates no private right of action. Session Law 2003-194 added the section and took effect when it became law on , applying to the 2003-2004 academic year and each subsequent year.
