When do we have to do Hep B vaccines?


Posted from TSR Mobile


Occupational health will sort it out when you get there, or you can get it done by your GP. I've already had mine done, took 7 months plus having antibodies tested.

So there's no rush to do it before September ?

There's no rush, as such. Kings won't kick you off the course for not getting a vaccine after you've earned your place, but it would save some time during registration if you sorted it out yourself - after all, it only costs £15 and a 5 min appointment with a nurse.

moonraker point is of a decent walkable distance to guy's campus but it is on the expensive side

Hey - do you know roughly how long the walk is from moonraker to guy's? Is it about the same as GDS/ a little bit more?

On the post offer notes they sent us, didn't they mention something about filling in an occupational health questionnaire, which will be made available via the Portal around May? Maybe that's when we'd have to start thinking about sorting out vaccinations, etc.

I've heard that it is slightly further than GDS (about 10-15 mins walk to guys campus?)

But that's step 5 out of 6, with step 1 being enrollment & registration, which can't do until they send us our online details right? And in step 5 it says 'you should already have begun the process of arranging vaccinations'...I would have liked to have thought it would be clearly stated in our offer notes if we had to be arranging vaccinations now? Hope so anyway - I've been trying to put off thinking about vaccinations ahahah :tongue:

I'm really sorry to hear that and I wish you the best of luck with your other universities. I've been waiting since December and I can imagine it to be heart breaking to wait so long just for a rejection.
How do you think your interview went?
