Prepare for your clinical exercise physiology placement

COVID-19 vaccination

UQ strongly encourages healthcare students to receive the number and timing of COVID-19 vaccine doses recommended by the Australian Government.

Pay close attention to the student immunisation evidence request that will be emailed to you. It will tell you if COVID-19 vaccination is required for your placement and the required number of doses.

Mask fit testing

Quantitative fit testing determines whether a specific make, model and size of N95/P2 mask or respirator achieves an adequate seal on your face.

Flu vaccination

Pay close attention to the student immunisation evidence request that will be emailed to you. It will tell you if flu vaccination is required for your placement.
