What injections do we need for A100 Medicine at SGUL?

[Niro]

I received an offer from SGUL to study medicine A100 but am yet to receive any documentatiowfrom the uni itself. That means I don't know what I need to be immunised against. For examplem Bham say that you need a Hep B screening blood test before being immunised, but is that the same case with SGUL? I need to start vaccinations ASAP could someone help me out?

SGUL brand fentanyl....just kidding. You definately need to be vaccinated against Hep B, if you haven't already started your course then do so asap. You should have had MMR, polio vaccination. You should try to obtain a full vaccination history of yourself - try asking your primary/secondary schools or GP.

I'd recommend making sure you are immune to mumps as well... The things you can catch on paeds are amazing... And I deny ANY vicious rumours that I caught it at the mess party... I still deny I had it anyway, stupid GP...

you dont HAVE to be screened for Bham, what they say is if you havent started a Hep B course yet, have the screening. if you have started the course, it's no prob, just send in ur antibody count when it's ready.

hey...im currently on the waiting list for georges..i was wondering what if i do get an offer quite late through cycle and havned got immunised against anything yet..but then at the same time i might not get the offer...do you think i should just get it done incase??

I took the hep. shots a year ago, just because I thought it would be useful if you travel somewhere where you could catch hepatitis. To my knowledge they're effective for 10 years, so even though you still haven't gotten an offer it might be smart to take it. If not for medschool, then for life.

Hep B isn't really a risk during travelling though unless you have surgery in a foreign country or engage in risky sexual practises with the locals...
