New School of Medicine, School of Nursing and PA Program Student Forms

Welcome to Yale Health! Please review the documents below for information about your health services requirements and deadlines for submission.

You will not be permitted to enroll in classes until your health forms are submitted and the immunization requirements are met. Some immunization requirements may take a month or more to complete.

Exemptions from required vaccinations

  • Medical exemptions: Medical exemptions may be requested by completing the form available on the Yale Vaccine Portal. Documentation from a healthcare provider is required and will be reviewed by Student Health for appropriateness.
  • Religious exemptions:  In accordance with CT state statute, Yale does not offer religious exemptions for required vaccinations except for flu and COVID (required for healthcare students only.) Under Public Act 21-6 passed by the Connecticut legislature, no new religious exemptions are allowed after April 27, 2021. The law outlines an exception for those with a valid religious exemption established by midnight April 27, 2021, for students enrolled at Yale on or before April 28, 2021. Religious exemptions from outside of Connecticut OR exemptions from K-12 schools will not transfer to Yale. Requests for religious exemption for COVID vaccination is available on the Yale Vaccine Portal.

The COVID-19 Vaccination requirements for incoming (matriculating) healthcare students in 2023 has been updated to reflect current CDC guidance and Yale’s revised vaccine policy.  All healthcare students must document receipt of a dose of the currently available updated bivalent mRNA vaccine.
