The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) rule, "Required Vaccinations for Students Enrolled in Health-Related and Veterinary Courses in Institutions of Higher Education", requires students enrolled in health-related courses, which will involve direct patient contact in medical or dental care facilities to complete a three dose series of hepatitis B vaccine prior to direct patient care. This rule applies to all medical interns, residents, fellows, nursing students, and others who are being trained in medical schools, hospitals, and health science centers and students attending two-year and four-year colleges whose courses work involves direct patient contact regardless of the number of courses taken, number of hours taken, and the classification of the student.
