Immunizations / Vaccinations for Students, Is it required for Canada??

[rahul_new]

Hello Everyone !!!
Greetings for the day...

Do we need any kind of immunization before travelling to Canada for higher studies ??

Searched a lot on my University Website but was unable to find any information on this !!!

I will be going to Canada for a Master's Program at UOttawa, so i was wondering if i would need any vaccinations before travel to Ottawa, Ontario ??

Few names i found on the web are : (Do we really need these ??)

Gardasil /Cervarix
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis A
Meningococcal Vaccine
MMR
Varivax (chicken pox)

Is there any need of documentation for these vaccinations / immunizations ??

Would be highly grateful if anyone could help in this regard ....

Thanks

i dont believe u need any of these however u may get a call for medical during ur visa process....also it is not a bad idea to take all these vaccinations.....someone of the vaccines u can take but some like hepatitis B takes 2-3 doses with 2nd dose after 1 month and 3rd dose after 6 months.....so may not be possible for u....

Thanks for the reply mead, appreciate ur support ...

I am done with visa process and got the TRV.

Had this doubt because many universities in US clearly mention in there offer letters that before coming to that specific place the student has to undertake some vaccinations as a precautionary measure ....

However in case of Canada there is no mention on whether the student needs to take any vaccinations before coming or not.

Still I am not sure about this, although i have already taken some vaccinations during childhood but dont have a document proof....

So i guess there is no such requirement for Canada, therefore will not take any immunizations or vaccinations ....

Hello,

I got admitted for graduate studies in Canada as well. My university informed me through email to bring immunization documents and a Criminal Record Check with me as requirements. I think it depends on your program and on the university you got into. You should get an email too if you need these documents. If you wanted to be certain, I would suggest you email your department and just inquire if there are some documents you still need to submit.

Cheers,
