Vaccinations & immunisation

The Department of Health states in the “Immunisation Against Infectious Disease” (Green Book 2006) that all health care workers including students are at risk from exposure to hazardous substances including pathogens.  You have a duty of care to protect  patients, colleagues and yourself by completing any required courses of vaccinations, to ensure you are immunised in accordance with the recommendations from the Department of Health.

If you do not complete any stage of your vaccination program i.e. Hepatitis B, your Fitness to Practice certificate may be withdrawn / suspended.

If you are given an appointment, it is imperative that you attend. If you do not attend your appointment, a letter will be sent to your tutors regarding your non-attendance. Your non-attendance will also be noted on your immunisation history.

If you are on placement or attending lectures at the time of your appointment, please show your letter to your mentor / tutor, who will allow you time  to attend.

Requesting Immunisation History

If you need a copy of your vaccination history for another employer, you can request a copy from Student Occupational Health. It will list the immunisation and vaccination history we have on file.

To obtain a copy, please download the request form and complete in full. Post to Student Occupational Health, The University of Salford, LG20, Peel Building, Salford, Greater Manchester, M5 4WT. 

Current registered students can email the request. It must come from their university email account. Please email HSW-MedicalRequest@salford.ac.uk and your immunisation history will be sent back to this account only.

On receipt of your request, it will be processed within 10 working days.

There is no charge for an initial Immunisation History request, however a charge maybe applied for any subsequent requests.
