Vaccination

Universitetet krever at studenter dokumenterer hepatitt B- og MMR-vaksiner. Merk at hele vaksinasjonsprosessen (Hep B) kan ta opptil 6 måneder. En grunnvaksinering med tre doser fordelt på ½ år gir vanligvis livslang beskyttelse.

Du er pliktig å ta Mantoux test etter ankomst til UNIC. Det tar 48 timer å få resultater og du dermed bør du planlegge å komme til Nicosia tidlig nok for å begynne praksisperioden når det er planlagt.

Følg https://www.fhi.no/sv/vaksine/reisevaksiner/. Som sykepleiestudent bør du følge anbefalingene for «gruppe 2» i FHIs retningslinjer. Sjekk også UD’s reiseinformasjon på «Helse-sider» for det spesifikke landet.

MERK: Alle studenter må fremvise negativ TB test og negativ MRSA test etter tilbakekomst til Norge.

Du må gå i gang med vaksiner allerede på søknadstidspunkt.
