Immunization Services 

At Health Services we stock and can administer several routine vaccines.  Fees depend on your specific insurance.  Students with: 

• Skidmore’s UnitedHealthcare insurance: Charge will be billed to the insurance with no charge to the student.
• All other insurance: Students will pay the fee listed below (by tuition account, Skid Card, or cash) and then can submit to their insurance or medical spending account for reimbursement. 

Immunizations offered at Health Services:

• Meningitis (Menveo ACWY) - $110
• MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) - $70
• Tetanus (Tdap) - $40
• Oral Typhoid (can be ordered upon request) - approx $80 

HPV, Hep A and Hep B vaccines are not carried at Health Services.

Some common vaccinations can be administered at local pharmacies such as CVS or Walgreens using your health insurance.  We encourage you to call the location(s) to discuss as online scheduling may not list all available options.  COVID vaccine information is available here.  

Flu and COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics 

Each Fall semester Skidmore College hosts large flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine clinics that are staffed by an outside organization. Specific information will be provided to students, faculty and staff via e-mail, posters, and social media closer to the dates of the clinics. 

TUBERCULOSIS SKIN TESTING/PPD 

Tuberculosis Skin Testing (TST) -(also known as PPD testing) is often required for travel, internships, and employment in healthcare and childcare facilities. 

• Available for $10.00
• Requires 2 visits – initial visit and a return visit for interpretation of results 2-3 days later 

Students’ PPD results can be found in their Health Services Portal.

*Blood test screening for tuberculosis (aka Quantiferon Gold testing) is also available through Health Services as a laboratory test.  Details can be discussed at an appointment.
