Health Services

Plainview Campus

Located in the middle of campus on the second floor of the University Center, Suite 210, Wayland's registered nurse gives students access to quality healthcare and works in consultation with area physicians.

Health Services

All students registered at the Plainview campus are eligible for health services. We offer illness assessments, with developed self-care plans, and first aid treatment, as well as, injury assessments and referrals.

Routine services are free of charge, including 2-3 day supplies of over-the-counter (OTC) medications when needed. Any services for vaccinations and immunizations will be charged to the student; students are also responsible for any healthcare charges incurred off campus.

 

Vaccines

The state-required meningitis vaccine can be administered at the Plainview campus. Call 806-291- 3765 to discuss pricing and to schedule an appointment.

Learn more about the meningitis vaccination requirement.

All students are required to submit a Vital Health Record through Magnus Health as well as documentation of a current (within five years) meningitis vaccination prior to beginning classes at Wayland. Even though no other immunizations are required for admission, it is strongly recommended that students have had a diphtheria/tetanus (DT) booster within the last 10 years, a measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) booster since 1980, and annual flu vaccinations

International Students

International students, be aware that you must provide proof of:

• Tuberculin test or chest X-ray, with results

• A MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) booster since 1980

• An adult DT (diphtheria/tetanus) booster within last 10 years
