All medical students must be compliant with the
Health Sciences Immunizations Program (HSIP) requirements. Beginning with the entering class of 2011, incoming first year students will be responsible for updating their immunization status prior to matriculation.
You will not be able to attend your ICM classes in a hospital setting until you achieve compliance with the immunization requirements. Please review the information about the HSIP requirements, and be sure to gather all available documents well in advance of orientation.
PPD Testing and Influenza Vaccine:
Incoming first year students are required to complete ONE tuberculin skin test (PPD) prior to matriculation. The second PPD will be administered by the HSIP at Orientation. If the flu vaccine is available at this time, flu shots will be administered as well. These are covered by the health fee.
TB positive students will not need to receive the PPD but can still attend the clinic at Orientation to receive a flu shot (if available).
