Hi everyone. ..please help me on how I can complete my vaccination requirements before the commencement of the bp... is there a vaccination provider or center or i dont know what to call it, here in the philippines where i can go to have all the required vaccinations?... what are the serological tests or blood test that i need to have to determine my immunity. I only have 2 months left before the start of my bp..do u think i can still comply with all the vaccination requirements? Thanks in advance to those who will answer...

There are BP schools that may require you to finish all your vaccines before course commencement. Ask your BP. In my experience, two months is not enough. You may ask pedia doctors if they are offering vaccinations. For the serology, not all hospitals have serology tests, so I suggest you go to big hospitals like St Lukes.

I think it would take a long time not unless ur documents are complete. They received mine last January but they asked for more documents so I sent them the docs they are asking and my RO said my application is for further assessment for suitability then progress to board for review.

uneed your baby record for vaccines, if none then just do the serologies. for hepa B vaccine u need certification of the three shots AND serology... most nursing schools required that so ask your nusing school forthe certification. for TB, u need tuberculin skin testing which can be done in hospitals as well with the serologies.

Hello! Is there anyone here who's going for IHNA May intake? I hope I can find a classmate here.

Hi! I'm for May intake IHNA.. are you done with your vaccinations and blood tests? Also, are you done with your Australian Federal Police check? I still haven't applied for this. I don't know how will I enter my first given name because only 1 name is accepted. I got two first given names..how am I going to enter that. is it ok to enter it in one word without a space? Regarding health insurance, what did you get, good for 3 months or 1 year? thank you.. :)

You can enter your second name in the OTHER GIVEN NAMES tab for AFP check. Never do it without a space like what you're planning to do.

I entered my second name on "other name". Do not combine your two names. I am left with Hepa B and MMR last doses which will be due before I fly to Melbourne :) The compulsory Hepa B serology which I think needed to be done within/after 8 wks of Hepa B doses completion, I will just do in Melbourne, because I have no choice, I already lack time. I got BUPA health insurance. I don't think there is an option for 3 months or 1 year, I cannot remember. What I know is, the form states the start of insurance, not the end of membership. What I lack is the WWC. IHNA just informed me last week.
