*Immunity must be demonstrated through blood tests (titer) for some conditions. A copy of the lab report is required for each titer; a practitioner’s documentation of a “positive titer” is not adequate. Immunization records are shared with faculty for clinical facilities requesting such information. Otherwise all student health records are considered confidential and not released. **Varicella Zoster (Chicken Pox) - Varicella-zoster, the virus that causes chicken pox and shingles is believed to be transmitted by the respiratory route and is highly contagious. Incubation period from an exposure to the development of the rash is usually 10 to 21 days. The virus is believed to be contagious prior to the onset of the rash. Any student with a negative varicella titer and who has not completed the varicella immunizations, and who is to have known exposure to chicken pox or shingles will not be allowed to participate in clinical activities until the 21-day incubation period has passed.
