You will need to provide Serological evidence of Proof of Immunity for:

• measles
• mumps
• rubella
• VZV (chickenpox)
• hep B tuberculosis (mantoux or heaf tests)
• MRSA swab results.

In order to save time and money you must have provided us with your immunisation laboratory results before your elective commences. You will not be able to commence your elective until we have received the laboratory test results for the diseases listed above. Test results for the proof of immunity must not be more than three years old.

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (M.R.S.A.)

All students must be shown to be free from M.R.S.A. To achieve this you are required to produce documentation showing the results of M.R.S.A. testing (swabs taken from nose, wrist and any skin lesion). For persons from overseas the swabs must have been taken within seven days of their departure for New Zealand and / or within seven days of last patient contact.
