In that case, of course you will be ensuring that he receives every vaccination that is recommended for him. There is no other “best.”
If you do manage to get a waiver, you would probably be restricted from attending class in the event of an outbreak. Years ago I did a waiver at my local U. I was just taking one class and I actually had the vaccine in question (MMR), but the records weren’t readily available. The waiver I signed stated that in the event of an outbreak I would not be allowed to attend classes unless I provided proof of vaccination.
As a parent of a student who will be living in dorms for the next three years (and just finished up a year in one) I would hope that the other kids in the dorm were all vaccinated. Strep, colds, flus, etc. just spread so quickly through college campuses and especially dorms. 
If you don’t like the college’s requirement of being vaccinated, your son can choose another college, or forego college entirely. Your son is not required to attend any particular college – e.g., the one closest to him – as he would be for a public elementary or high school.
Full disclosure: I consider withholding of vaccines for any child whose immune system isn’t previously compromised to be simply a form of child abuse, and I hope for the religious exemptions to be eventually struck down under the Sherbert Test. So, now that you know the wing I’m coming from…
Really, the answer to the OP’s question has been given: Ask each college. You will find, however, whether from legal mandates or ethical considerations or simple fear of liability, continuing to opt out of vaccines on your part will needlessly restrict the colleges your child has available. Of course, this isn’t unlike someone who insists on a particular geographic region, or selectivity tier, or choice of majors, or type of mattress in the dorms, or whatever else. However, just as with most of those cases, you’ll find that the amount of sympathy you get for restricting your search to be limited, at least most of the time. So it goes.
Yes it is. The person who insists on any of the things you list isn’t endangering others. The person who refuses to be vaccinated is.
Full disclosure: I agree with dfbdfb regarding childhood immunization.
I can’t imagine sending any kiddo into the world unvaccinated. My own kids pick up EVERYTHING. Son has had meningitis in high school. Daughter had mono… twice… once as a 9 year old, once in college. Supposedly you can’t get it twice; she managed. If I hadn’t vaccinated them in childhood, who knows if they’d reach their current ages…
I find this thread infuriating.
My mom lost my immunity record, so I went to the department of public health when I was 20 and got the shots all over again so I could go to community college at night.
It was no big deal, and I helped to protect both myself and my fellow students from serious diseases by doing so.
Step up and do the right thing for humanity.
To borrow some words from Leona Hemsley:
Only the little people get diseases…
If you want to do what’s best for your child, you will protect that child from avoidable diseases. Unless you are equipped to conduct valid scientific studies of your own, It is smart to accept the existing studies.
Our D contracted whooping cough in high school. She had been vaccinated, but the whooping cough vaccine can weaken over time. Her case was nowhere near as bad as it would have been without the vaccine though. Trust me on this - you do not want to see your child with whooping cough.
I will get mocked for this remark, but I want the OP to know I support her position. There are valid reasons not to vaccinate. People who don’t vaccinate are not trying to endanger others. They are trying to protect themselves. Some people would rather risk the disease than the vaccine. Many others would rather risk the vaccine than the disease. Neither method is flawless. Stating things like “there is no other best” is quite absurd. Obviously you’ve never walked in the shoes of the parents whose kids have had negative affects from vaccines. I’m not saying it’s common, but it does happen.
Now, tear me to pieces. Call me an idiot. Go on.

Right, as if the medical industry is going to put out a report saying vaccines are dangerous. Do you realize how much money they would lose? That would be like if they had asked NASA to do its own Challenger investigation.
An LAC in Michigan just had a bout of mumps…not good to ignore vaccines. The consequences of getting one of these preventable diseases can be greater as for adults than even children. But if you are all heck bent on taking a stand, check with the college as others said.
It doesn’t matter whether or not you’re trying to endanger others; it’s just a fact that you are when you do not vaccinate yourself or your children. Obviously there are cases where it may not be safe to vaccinate.
A drunk driver will claim he didn’t mean to endanger someone but when he hits someone he still did anyways. It’s not the intentions that matter, it’s the outcome.
Most of us are just too young to remember how devastating these communicable diseases were. It is a position of great luxury to be able to forego them and ride on the immunity of others.
My kids went to a Waldorf school and many parents there had the simplistic idea the illness was good for children, that it made them stronger, built up their immune system, etc. They just had no experience with the debilitating after effects from disease because they are so very, very rare today. It’s one thing to recover from the common cold, it’s quite another to be left deaf by measles or to be hospitalized by the flu and need months of therapy afterwards.
For college age, the child should certainly have a say. He may want better protection from disease. He may simply want a larger choice of colleges.
My god, I’m so tired of tinfoil hat conspiracy theories. Really. It’s like a smorgasbord of logical fallacies all trotted out at once.
What an ugly mindset. Put what you perceive to be your kid’s best interest ahead of everyone else he comes into contact with, while piggybacking on other people to do what you won’t to keep him safe. I wonder what he will say to you if he contracts one of those diseases and becomes seriously ill or misses school or is rendered sterile. Endangering someone is the farthest thing from loving, and I think it is monstrous to endanger the people who can’t be vaccinated. Like newborn babies or people who are immune compromised. It’s not your son’s fault, but I think unvaccinated people should be banned from campus or be forced to wear an ankle bracelet or some other identifier.
^^^^^More likely, the kid has been convinced to agree with the parent’s POV.
^^^ What a terrible thing. I daresay all of you would be horrified if your kid decided not to vaccinate their kid.
I suppose it’s easy for people to be complacent when they live in a 1st World country.
Our entire family has been injected w all kinds of vaccines because of the countries we’ve lived in/visited and the mega international airports we’ve transitted. When we lived in a muslim country, we also had to worry about what returning Haj pilgrims might bring back.
If you’ve seen some of the disease-crippled people in 3rd World countries we’ve seen, you’d run out and demand every shot too.
My sister is deaf in one ear due to her getting the measles when she was a child. I just don’t understand the mentality of not vaccinating.
I mean, if he’s college age, you don’t have to worry about autism… just kidding…
(and not trying to make light of autism) I know autism is not caused by vaccines.
