[nabs-l] Students with guide dogs

[Robin]

I presume it is a health question because as I 
recall the initial EMAIL post to this list was 
wondering whether or not it is permissible under 
the ADA guidelines for a college or university to 
request  vaccination records of a service/guide dog.

I presume it is NOT an ADA guideline issue. I 
don't SEE the difference between requesting a 
service/guide dog's vaccination records or a 
students immunization records  especially with 
all of the concern of contageous diseases  such 
as the flu. They are, in my humble opinion, just 
trying to be proactive to protect the 
staff/student population, who regularly 
attend/visit their campus of learning, and that 
is what, in my EYES makes it a health concern/issue.
