Are you up to date with your vaccinations?
Check that you're protected against common infectious diseases before starting university, and find out which vaccinations we recommend.
Living, studying and socialising with lots of new people can increase the risk of infectious diseases spreading.
We strongly recommend that you are up to date with all your vaccinations before arriving at university:
- MenACWY
- MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) - both doses
- Tetanus, Polio and Diphtheria
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
If you're unsure whether you have had any of these vaccinations, please check with your GP.
If you live outside the UK, check with your local healthcare provider to make sure you are up to date with these vaccinations before you arrive.
