Required Immunizations
Hepatitis B
All medical students are required to have been immunized against Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B immunization consists of a series of three injections that should be completed prior to or as soon as possible after matriculation to insure safety at the time of patient contact. Students who do not have documentation of the dates of the series of three vaccines, may instead submit written proof of positive immunity.
Measles/Mumps/Rubella
All students are required to have two Measles/Mumps/Rubella (MMR) immunizations. Students without documentation of two specific dates of their MMR immunizations must submit written proof of positive Antibody Titres for Measles, Mumps and Rubella.
Polio, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis
Students are required to have documentation of their primary series against Polio. Students are required to have documentation of their primary series in Diptheria/Pertussis and Tetanus. Additionally, students shall have had a Tdap booster within the past ten years. Students with a DT booster greater than two years ago are still required to have a Tdap booster.
Varicella
Students with a history of varicella should have documentation. Appropriate documentation includes a date of Varicella infection (Chicken Pox), in writing, from a healthcare provider. Students without a history of varicella, or vaccination, must submit written documentation of positive Antibody titre. Non-immune students will not be permitted on some clinical services, for example, rotations at St. Christophers Hospital for Children.
