All immunization documentation must show your name, date and be verified by a medical provider. What do you do if you can���t find your records? In general, both children and adults will need to repeat some vaccines. For a few vaccines, blood tests can help determine if you are already immune to certain diseases.

You���ll be asked to submit one of the following requirements for each of these four vaccinations:

• Vaccination series: Two vaccinations at least 28 days apart OR
• Serological proof of immunity

Positive (+) IgG titers for each of these four vaccinations: Measles (Rubeola), Mumps, Rubella, AND Varicella (Chicken Pox)

• If your titer is negative or equivocal, an alert will be created in ClinicalStudent and you will need to complete the vaccination series. (See vaccination series information in the first bullet.) 
• A post-vaccination titer is not required, but if one is done that results in a non-immune status, check with your practitioner to determine the next steps and receive documentation of recommendations from that health care provider.

You���ll be asked to submit one of the following requirements:

• Documentation of a TDaP booster within the past 10 years OR
• Evidence of one dose of TDaP and a TD booster within the past 10 years

You must submit proof of the absence of active tuberculosis (TB). An initial two-step TB skin test (TST) or IGRA (blood test for TB) will be required before starting the programs. TB testing is required annually and students must remain in compliance throughout the program.

• Complete an IGRA (blood test for TB) OR
• Two-step screening as follows:
• If the first TB skin test (TST) is positive (+)���an individual is considered infected.
  • You will then need to have a chest x-ray and complete signs/symptoms questionnaire to rule out active tuberculosis.
• If first TST is negative (-)���complete a second TST one to three weeks later. If the second TST is completed more than three weeks after the first TST, the student will have to restart the two-step screening.
  • If a second TST is positive (+) ��� an individual is considered infected.
    • You will then need to have a chest x-ray and signs/symptoms questionnaire to rule out active tuberculosis.
    • If the second TST is negative (-) it is considered a negative (-) baseline.

Note

• Be aware of receiving a live virus immunization (such as varicella, MMR or flu), you will need your TST done at the same time or wait four weeks.
• TB screening compliance must remain current throughout the program.
• A chest x-ray is not permitted instead of TB screening.
• Refer to the College���s policy for documentation of TB screening.

It is the College's policy to maintain an alcohol and drug-free workplace. Students will be sent for testing for illegal substances after an admissions offer is made. Students who test positive on their drug screenings are not allowed to participate in any clinical rotations at any Saint Luke���s Health System affiliated institutions and the admissions offer will be rescinded.

Students who test positive for an illegal substance and are therefore not allowed to start the program may reapply for the next available start date. A new drug screening is required after an admissions offer is made. Applicants who provide an abnormally diluted sample will be required to repeat the drug test (retest).

The College and clinical sites reserve the right to reject the participation of any student based on the results of the screenings, immunizations or a background check.
