Health Requirements

Health Requirements for MVCC Dental Hygiene Students

Infectious Disease Statement: As dental hygienists in training, students may be exposed to infectious diseases through contact with blood, sputum, and/or saliva, which may be transmitted via splatter and/or aerosols generated during an appointment. Examples of bloodborne and infectious diseases that professionals might be exposed to include hepatitis B and C, Tuberculosis, HIV, COVID-19, and conjunctivitis.

To minimize risk, professionals must stay current on vaccinations and follow strict infection control guidelines. The program follows the guidelines set by the New York State Department of Health (NYDOH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Submitting documentation

Student health requirements include documentation of immunizations, required training, and related compliance records. MVCC uses American DataBank to help students track, access, and maintain their compliance records. This system, known as Complio, automatically notifies students when immunization or compliance records are expiring, allowing them to update their records as needed.

The instructions below detail how to complete the immunization and certification requirements. Please review these materials closely.

Getting started

To get started, create an account. Once you create an account, you’ll be able to place an order for the list of immunization requirements you’ll need to provide to MVCC for the program in which you’re enrolled. The list will be emailed to you when you place your order. Please review the list carefully to ensure you have all the necessary documentation.

On your home page, each category will have a colored icon. Green means “Approved,” red means “Not Compliant,” and yellow means “Pending Review.”

Helpful hints:

  1. All records MUST include: your name, physician's information, and date of birth.
  2. When uploading documents, if there are multiple doses, each dose has to be uploaded separately. EX. MMR has 2 doses. Put the first dose under the first dose tab and the second dose under the second dose tab. If you enter them in the wrong order, you can use the delete button to remove your entry. If you leave them in the wrong order, the 1st dose will be treated as the 2nd dose; they will be rejected.
  3. The only reasons to apply for an exception are if you cannot receive the shot due to medical reasons, religious reasons, or an allergy. 
  4. If the shot you are seeking has a declination form available, you need to complete it to be exempt. Forms are available under the shot you are declining, in the category information explanation. Forms are highlighted in blue. Discuss questions about exceptions with the program director. All other exceptions will be denied.
  5. Tuberculosis test should be placed under PPD.
