Hey. I have a feeling that I am indeed getting off the WL but I think it's going to be super close to the middle of june so I'm wondering about being able to get everything I need done before leaving. I saw someone ask about the physical on a previous post but didn't really see a clear answer. Do we have to take a drug test because that could be one thing I take care of now.
I can answer this very clearly (from the Meharry catalogue):
Mandatory Immunizations: All students are required to submit immunization records for
the following:
�� Hepatitis B Series: documentation of having received 3 separate doses and
quantitative serological evidence of immunity.
�� MMR (measles, mumps, rubella): documentation of having received 2 separate doses
and quantitative serological evidence of immunity.
�� Varicella: documentation of having received 2 separate doses of the vaccine or
documentation of having had the disease confirmed by your healthcare provider, and
quantitative serological evidence of immunity.
�� PPD (Tuberculosis Skin Test): documentation of having received the test within the last
12 months or results of Chest X-ray and subsequent INH Therapy documentation if PPD
was positive.
�� Tetanus/Diphtheria/Acellular Pertusis (TdAP): documentation of having received the
immunization within the last 10 years.
�� Polio
Student Health Services will determine whether immunization documentation is adequate.
Students, who cannot provide adequate documentation of prior immunization or physiciandiagnosed
diseases (as indicated by serological evidence) must receive immunization to
these diseases prior to the beginning of the fall semester of the said academic year.
