Detailed introduction to physical examination projects for studying in Australia

Going to study in Australia is not just a matter of getting an offer. There is another very important thing that you need to apply for as soon as possible. What is that? It is a visa. Applying for a visa requires preparing a lot of information, among which One is the medical certificate. So, what are the items in the physical examination for studying in Australia? Let me give you a brief introduction. The physical examination items for studying in Australia include:

Generally speaking, if the school does not have special vaccine requirements, all international students at least need to go to the International Travel Health Center for a physical examination. The physical examination items include: X-ray examination, electrocardiogram, Blood tests, body examination and immunization shots (default two shots, MMR and diphtheria tetanus).

After the physical examination is completed, the International Travel Health Center will issue a health certificate (commonly known as the little red book) based on the physical examination, which records your physical examination information, and another international vaccination certificate (commonly known as the little yellow book) , which records the vaccines and information you have received. The red book is valid for one year, and the yellow book has no time limit.

1.MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella): combined measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. That is, the trinity vaccine of measles, mumps, and rubella requires two injections, and the second injection is a booster injection. The second dose needs to be injected 1 month apart from the first dose. Therefore, we hope that all students who need to be vaccinated should prepare in advance.

2.DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus): diphtheria-tetanus pertussis combined vaccine. That is the combination vaccine for whooping cough, diphtheria and tetanus. Generally, we all received the combined DPT vaccine when we were children. However, the combined DPT vaccine is not effective for life, and is generally effective for about 10 years. So usually a booster shot is enough.

3.Hepatitis B: Hepatitis B vaccine. We also took this shot when we were children, but the hepatitis B vaccine also has an expiration date, usually 10 to 15 years. Therefore, after the expiration date, the hepatitis B antibodies in our body may be gone (whether they can be detected through physical examination). If not, a new injection is required. Hepatitis B vaccine requires three injections, with the last two injections being booster injections. The second dose should be separated by 1 month from the first dose, and the third dose should be separated by 6 months from the first dose.

The above is an introduction to the relevant content of the physical examination for studying in Australia. 86 experts remind that before leaving the country, you must be vigilant about physical examination and vaccination matters and be fully prepared. This not only wastes extra money, but also delays the enrollment time, which is really not cost-effective.
