New guia

By JULIE HEDDERMAN
Of The Battalion Staff
Texas A&M students need to have
their immunization records updated
before classes begin next spring or
they will not be able to attend class,
the health education coordinator at
A.P. Beutel Health Center said.
Dr. Erika Gonzalez-Lima said all
freshmen, transfer and graduate
students are required to have immu
nization shots updated.
Letters were sent to all students
who are not immunized, which is
about half the student population.
“I would urge new students to
have immunizations updated as soon
as possible or they might be blocked
from spring classes,” she said.
She said the admissions office will
return tuition and fees checks for
next semester from students if their
immunizations are not updated.
The new policy is necessary be
cause of the measles outbreak last
spring, she said.
Twelve cases of measles were re
ported to the health center in the
spring, and Gonzalez-Lima said the
number of cases could have been
higher if 6,100 students had not re
ceived updated shots then.
The University now requires all
new students to receive updated im
munizations so every student will be
up to date in four years, she said.
Gonzalez-Lima said University
health officials will continue the pol
icy, which is being enforced by the
Texas Department of Health.
