"All freshmen must provide complete vaccine records before class. According to the requirements of the school, they are not allowed to enter the campus without providing vaccine records. At the same time, if it is found that the school does not provide a complete vaccine record, it may also bear legal responsibility. "

Speaking of vaccination, in fact, American universities can provide it, but do you know how much more expensive it is than domestic ones ... So witty friends usually choose to solve it in China, saving a lot of trouble. But when you see the vaccination requirements of the school, you must lose your mind in minutes. What the hell are MMR, hepatitis B and tuberculosis tests? The recent vaccine incident is even more shocking.

But don't panic. Today's daily newspaper gives you a closer look at these trivial things about studying in the United States and getting vaccinated. ...

Please check your school requirements carefully.

American schools will put forward such and such requirements for vaccines that international students need to inject before studying in the United States, which are generally presented in the form of forms, called immunization requirements (that is, those vaccines required by schools) or medical history forms (your vaccine registration records).

Take Purdue University as an example. Let's feel the appearance of this watch:

It may seem a little dizzy, but in fact, you just need to fill in your personal information and give the rest to the doctor in the physical examination center, who will fix this form according to your vaccination situation.

So, is this form still useful in the United States?

Of course! Remember to take this form to the school health center, and the doctor will confirm whether you need supplementary vaccine according to the information on this form.

The above is just an example of Purdue; However, the types and quantities of vaccines required by each school are different. Be sure to check the school documents several times! For example, Columbia University requires only two vaccines, while the University of Pennsylvania requires five vaccine records.

So, let's take a look at several common vaccines:

Measles, mumps and rubella

Combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. Inoculation can be carried out alone or in combination.

American schools generally require two shots of measles, and mumps and rubella may require one or two shots. Therefore, if you vaccinate separately, you should fill it out according to the requirements of the school form. If it is a mixed injection, it is enough to inject MMR twice. There should be an interval of one month between two stitches.

Tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis

Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine, referred to as DTP or any combination of DTP and DTT or Td, is often called "DTP-DTP mixed vaccine".

American schools generally require 5 needles to record, while all vaccines in China only need 4 needles. If you were under 2 years old at the time of the last vaccination, you need to be vaccinated again. Therefore, students need at least one shot to meet the requirements of the school.

hepatitis B

For hepatitis B vaccine, American schools generally require 3-needle records. It is also an injection every month.

chickenpox

Chickenpox vaccine, American schools generally require two shots to record. Individual schools will make it clear that if 13 is vaccinated once, it needs to be vaccinated twice, with an interval of 6 ~ 17 weeks.

If students have had chickenpox, a certificate with the date of onset and the doctor's signature and seal can replace the vaccine.

Meningococcal

American schools usually require vaccination against epidemic meningitis. It is mainly provided by college students when they live on campus. Basically all the students have been vaccinated.

Tuberculosis skin test (PPD skin test)

Tuberculosis examination, which is required by almost every American school for international students. The vast majority of schools carry out unified testing in the week when foreign students report for duty, which is the legendary tuberculosis testing.

By the way, Purdue University needs to draw three tubes of blood for tuberculosis examination ..... and if your test result is very sad, please continue to draw three tubes.

However, the doctors, brothers, nurses and sisters in American university hospitals are still very gentle (this is somebody else's school hospital), they will chat with you kindly, and doctors with childlike innocence will take out small toys to comfort you. Don't be afraid.

Miraculously, after the blood draw, the doctor suggested that you go to the gym to exercise and take a bath that day!

Little friends can make an appointment for a medical examination.

Before going abroad, the physical examination is generally carried out in the travel health centers in various provinces and cities, because the physical examination here is very convenient.

4) Vaccine forms issued by American schools and other related forms. (If any)

5) Medical examination fee: about 1000 RMB, subject to the actual fee charged by the medical examination center.

It is recommended that you make an appointment before the physical examination, because May, June and July are often the peak periods for studying abroad for physical examination, so you should make an appointment at least two days in advance, which will save a lot of time in line.

In addition, snacks can be decorated in the bag to replenish energy, because you need an empty stomach before blood drawing, but you need to be full after vaccination, so remember to take the opportunity to eat something after blood drawing.

Then, you can give the immunization requirements of American schools and childhood immunization certificates to the staff of overseas travel health centers (they can read English), and will tell you what physical examination items you need to do, what vaccines to take, and so on. Physical examination items probably include: height, weight, strength, urine test, X-ray, blood drawing and electrocardiogram. ...

You can get vaccinated after the physical examination. You just need to give the school's vaccine demand form and vaccine book to the doctor. About ten minutes, all the needles will be tied, and you won't be given any chance to wipe your tears at all. ...

I can finally go home without any problems.

After about three working days, you will get the complete vaccine list filled out by the doctor, and you will also get a red book (health check certificate) and a yellow book (vaccination certificate). Remember to take them with you when you enter or leave this country.
