hi raprap. are you going to ETEA? i am on my 4th week of the IRON Program here in melbourne. etea is pretty specific regarding immunisations. even if you already had your chickenpox before you have to get a serology for that. also with MMR. :)

Hi aila. Where did you get yours?

hi everyone! Re: Polio Vaccine Is it enough to get a certification from your pediatrician that you were vaccinated when you were still a kid or do we have to have the drops all over again? thanks.

hi... do you need to pay for anything if you apply through IDP? You were given a slot right? Do you need to complete the vaccines before getting a slot?

LTU is one of IDP's affiliate schools, you don't have to pay anything. Their service is absolutely free. Once you will be given a slot you must pay your tuition the soonest time possible since their scheduled IRON intake fills up so quickly. The vaccination requirement needs to be completed before your intake will commence, it doesn't have to do in getting your eCOE or offer letter.

Good luck!

i think OPV is not included in the vaccines that we need to finish. only MMR, dtp, hep b, varicella, and flu.
