Helpful Tips

• Be certain you have blood work drawn and tested for all the necessary titres (measles, mumps, rubella, varicella and Hepatitis B). Titres are the serology used to determine if you have evidence of immunity to a particular disease. Having the required vaccinations does not mean you have immunity.
• Start early! Titre results and follow up vaccinations can take several weeks, so don't wait until the last minute.
• Ensure you have had an adolescent / adult dose of Tdap (Adacel), even if you have recently had a Td or Tdp booster. For more information regarding this issue, please see TDAP Information.
• Ensure you have a fully documented TB Skin Test, (date planted, read, induration value and interpretation), even if you had a positive test and x-ray. This is a requirement established by the Canadian Tuberculosis Standard 6th Ed.
• Ensure your health care provider has filled in the entire form and initialed where necessary, otherwise, your record will be returned not cleared.
• Once cleared, your original health record will be returned to you, keep your health record in a safe location, as you can be asked to produce this document by a clinical setting at anytime.
