Immunization Health Records Virginia Law (Code of Virginia, Section 23-7.5) requires full-time college students to submit health history information and documentation of required Immunizations. In keeping with these guidelines, Bluefield College requires each student to submit these forms before registration. Health Services will mail your Immunization records directly to you. Since you may need to send your immunization records to other institutions, be sure to keep a copy in a safe place. Federal HIPPA laws prevent us from faxing them or forwarding immunization records. It is your responsibility to forward these records to other schools, employers, etc. Copies of health records are destroyed after five years of absence fromBluefieldCollege.
