Proof of Influenza Vaccination and Mask Fitting Required
Clinical institutions have developed plans for pandemic preparedness. Entry to some clinical settings will require students to get an influenza (flu) vaccination and be fitted for a 鈥淢oldex鈥� brand of N95听mask. 听海角社区 Student Health Service (SHS) administers flu immunization programs and will track students who receive these services. They have also mask fitting for 鈥�3M鈥� type N95 masks. With limited stock this year, they are asking that Nursing students be fitted through the 海角社区 Health Centre (MUHC)听for 鈥淢oldex鈥� type masks.听One mask type size does not necessarily fit another type鈥檚. A听schedule for mask fitting through the MUHC will be made available here. Priority may be given according to entry into clinical.

Students who receive the influenza听vaccination elsewhere than SHS will need to provide proof of such to SHS so that their record can be updated prior to entry into the clinical setting.
