Prior to beginning your program, you will need to satisfy all immunization and TB screening requirements. Staying current with vaccinations protects you from serious illnesses and helps prevent disease transmission to the community.
The Student Communicable Disease Program (SCDP) is responsible for monitoring the vaccination compliance for all UCSF students. The Occupational Health Services (OHS) portal is the central repository for student health data and used for compliance and reporting purposes. All records submitted via the OHS Portal will be transmitted to your My Health Record nightly. Vaccination compliance will be indicated in your My Health Record.
