In order to participate in clinical experience, you will need to provide either proof of hepatitis vaccination or demonstrate a titer of anti-HBs. You can get the vaccine for protection from hepatitis B at the Birkam Health Center. The charge there is generally less than you would pay a your doctor's office. But you can get the vaccine from anywhere, as long as you can provide written proof of having received it. It's up to you to pay for the vaccine. If you decline the vaccine, you will be required to sign a waiver acknowledging having been informed about the vaccine, the risks associated with NOT being vaccinated, and that you understand that you can change your decision at any time and be vaccinated. If you do not get the vaccine, we may require you to re-sign the waiver form each year you are in the program. Our affiliated clinical laboratories want you to be vaccinated against hepatitis B, or to show proof of antibody titer before you begin your clinical experience. If you sign the waiver declining the vaccination, you may risk your eligibility for a specific site assignment, or to attend any site at all. If you don't get an internship, you won't graduate. |
