Vaccine Statement: Health Sciences & Nursing Programs

TCCD’s partners may require vaccinations for students enrolled in technical programs that require the fulfillment of onsite practicum/clinical coursework at one of our partnering facilities. Students in technical programs with a practicum/clinical component may be required by the partnering facility to have vaccines to complete the practicum/clinical requirement at the partnering facility. Several hospitals require technical program students to be fully immunized before arrival at the facilities.

As a result, practicum/clinical sites for unvaccinated students may be limited; therefore, graduation may be delayed if students decline clinical/practicum assignments at sites requiring vaccinations.
