The College Student Health Services provides care for full-time students  during the regular academic year.  Students need to call to schedule an appointment. Due to ongoing COVID-19 cases students can schedule Zoom appointments, tele-health appointments or in person visits depending on circumstances.

Why It Matters:

  • Speeds up the check-in process
  • Reduces wait times
  • Helps ensure we have enough staff and vaccines

All students are required to complete a health questionnaire, have a physical exam, and meet immunization requirements before their enrollment at Washington College. Physical exams must be completed within the 6 month period prior to the due date. Required immunizations are listed on the Health Form, which can be found on this page.

Clinic Information

An influenza immunization is strongly recommended for all returning Washington College students, living either on campus or off campus in Chestertown or the surrounding areas. The influenza vaccine is an important step in reducing flu-related illnesses and the overall impact of the respiratory illness during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Washington College already requires standard vaccines for all students, except by bona fide religious or medical exemptions, to help mitigate risk to the community and to support public health efforts in disease containment.

How to Provide Proof

Proof of influenza vaccine should be uploaded via the Student Health Portal. Below we have outlined the process to follow:

  1. Save a copy of your receipt/certificate/proof of vaccine showing date and type of Influenza vaccine you received on your device.  Valid formats are JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PDF, BMP and GIF.
  2. Go to https://washcoll.studenthealthportal.com/
  3. Use your Wash Coll SSO email and password to login
  4. On the home page, go to Document upload
  5. Select Proof of Influenza Vaccine from drop down menu
  6. Select file from your device and upload
