Information on vaccines 

Immunizations offer safe and effective protection from vaccine-preventable diseases.  

Madison College strongly supports the use of vaccines to protect the health of our individual students and our campus communities.

If you are not immunized, your chances of becoming ill and suffering serious complications are much higher.

Madison College does not have a pre-admission policy requiring mandatory vaccinations for general admittance to the college, however, certain programs at Madison College do have pre-admission vaccination requirements such as our School of Health Education and Protective Service programs where students work with populations who are vulnerable to illness or pose a risk to the student while completing their coursework and practicums.

For more information about vaccines and immunizations, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

If you have specific questions or would like more information, you may contact the Madison College Health Educator at (608) 245-2116 or via email.
