Incoming students must use the official Texas Health and Human Services exemption affidavit. The form can be downloaded at DSHS.Texas.gov.  The original form must be completed, notarized, and mailed to Baylor University Health Services Attn: Medical Records, 209 Speight Ave Fl 2, Waco, TX 76706. It is the student's responsibility to complete the form and have it notarized and mailed in time to arrive before their move-in date. 

We're pleased to partner with VaxCare to immunize our patients with the asterisked vaccines.  This partnership allows us to streamline our immunization services and expand access to patients with a number of insurances that we are currently not in network with. We will continue to provide the recommended vaccines, with our staff administering those doses.  The only difference will be that VaxCare will directly bill your insurance company, so you may also see the name VaxCare or that of their Medical Director on the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurance company. Should you have specific questions regarding the billing of your immunizations you may reach out to VaxCare’s Patient Billing at (844)-458-9551 or the Health Center at 254-710-1010.
