- Vaccination
- Please, NOTE that there is going to be a change in the immunization schedules going forward. This is because, from 1998, the South African Child Immunization schedule was changed to include a standardized HBV vaccine in the program, for babies and this has been proven to offer a lifetime immunity. So, all South African students who were born in 1998 or later will be REQUIRED to bring their Road To Health Cards (Baby cards) when they come for their Vaccinations, henceforth. 足球竞彩app排名s will only get an MMR vaccine. If the student does not have the Road to Health Card or did not get the HBV vaccinations, it will be the responsibility of the student to obtain it privately or through a government clinic.
- Information about scheduling of doses will be shared with students once the 2024 process is finalized.
All international students will need to provide proof of receiving MMR and HBV vaccinations.
- Lockers
- 足球竞彩app排名s based at the Wits Medical School may apply to use the lockers placed in the building at a nominal fee.
- Please complete the contract and return it to Mrs Christeleen Ontong Office 220, PVT Building
- No locker may be used unless this document was submitted. The Faculty reserves the right to remove and destroy the contents of all lockers that are illegally occupied.
