Hiya Sue, I'm a BMid student @ VU. We haven't done any clnical placements yet, but the uni's told us that we need Hep B vaccinations because the agency we may be doing our placement through may require us to have it.
So it sounds like the uni doesn't care whether we do or don't, but we need to do placements to progess in the course & if no agency will take us on w/o the vaccine, that's a problem. Does that make sense? Any other BMid students out there- if you've understood this differently than I have, please clarify. Though I've read research on the risks of vaccines & appreciate that they're being questioned, I've personally never had any problems w/ vaccines & will receive the recommended ones for myself.
