teams or clubs may have different requirements. Check with the team or club to be sure.

Contact your high school for immunization records. Ask your health care provider to determine your needs (immunity against many
of the diseases listed on the form can be determined through tests) and provide recommended immunizations.
I received another immunization after my UHS Immunization Form was completed. How can I update my form?

How will I know whether UHS received my immunization form? UHS cannot confirm receipt of
forms due to the large number of forms received.
Does UHS give immunizations? Are there fees? Yes,
immunizations are available at the UHS Allergy,
Immunization and Travel Health Clinic. We recommend that you
get all immunizations before your arrival on campus, so you are
adequately protected when you arrive. Students under 18 years old
need written parental consent to receive immunizations, and a parent/guardian
can complete the Authorization
for Consent to Treatment of a Minor Form. For more information,
call the clinic at 734-764-8304.
Who can I contact for more information? If after reading the information above you have
additional questions about immunizations or the UHS Immunization Form, please email
