VACCINATION AGAINST HEPATITIS B:
All students will be screened for Hepatitis B and vaccinated accordingly. The Hepatitis B immunization programme consists of a course of 3 injections – an
initial vaccine dose (at registration), followed by a 2nd dose after 30 days, and a final dose 6 months after the 1st dose. Hepatitis B immunization may be administered, at your own expense, either by your private doctor or by the UKZN Occupational Health Clinic. If administered by your family doctor, proof of vaccination must be produced at registration.
Towards the end of your first year you will have a blood test, to determine if you have been successfully vaccinated.
Note: It is important that you comply with all the follow up appointments at the Occupational Health Clinic and complete the vaccination programme before you register for the 2nd year.
