An important note about immunizations: Please check your student gateway portal often; secure messages will be sent to you when you are out of compliance or due for a vaccination. A "Detailed Health Science Immunization Requirements" document is posted on the Student Health website for your reference. If you have concerns about the requirements, you may contact Student Health at DSHS_Immunizations@mc.duke.edu or via fax at (919) 681-7386.
