North Carolina state law (General Statutes §130A 152–157) requires that all students entering college present a certificate of immunization that documents that the student has received all immunizations required by law. While your state or country of origin may have different immunization requirements, you must comply with North Carolina laws and Duke requirements.

STEP 2: You will receive an email after completing this questionnaire. Print the TB Screening Questionnaire and follow the instructions provided.
