Student immunisation requirements
This information outlines immunisation and disease screening requirements and recommendations for your program or course, and how to submit evidence of immunisation.
For your own safety and the safety of others, you’re required to demonstrate appropriate vaccination or evidence of immunity to vaccine preventable diseases as well as screening for some diseases before commencing some coursework and placements with UQ.
The Vaccination and Immunisation Procedures and Guidelines provide information about your responsibilities for immunisation and screening requirements related to programs and activities. If you fail to complete mandatory requirements, this may affect your ability to fulfil the inherent requirements of your program or course.
