Vaccinations are available for a minimal fee to students not enrolled in the Columbia Health Program. Fees are charged to cover the actual cost of the specific vaccine. Charges may be paid to Columbia Health by cash, check, or credit card (only Visa or MasterCard accepted).
Vaccine expenses are generally not covered by medical insurance benefits. Information about coverage of vaccine costs can be obtained by calling your insurance carrier’s customer service representatives.
