College life results in exposure to many communicable diseases, and immunizations
are available for a number of these diseases. Birkam Health Center offers influenza,
Hepatitis B, Tdap (tetanus, diptheria and pertussis), and COVID-19.
Prior to coming to Ferris State University, students should check with their physician
or local health department as to current recommendations regarding their own immunization
status. Most immunizations are available at private physician offices and health departments,
as well as at the Health Center.
For further information about immunizations or how to schedule appointments for them,
you may call (231) 591-2614 and ask to speak to a nurse.
