New grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand Part 2

Published

Due to recent changes regarding applications for International nurses to Australia and the combining of the nursing boards to one central nursing board in Australia AHPRA I have started a new thread for people to discuss the new process on working in Australia.

Currently New Zealand is not accepting new applicants from International trained nurses except those that meet the Trans Tasman Mutual Recognition Agreement {TTMR} this will be updated once the New Zealand nursing board reopen their books to International nurses.

Guys, please help me out. I have problems regarding my immunization.

1. I do not have a record of my vaccines because my mom doesn't even remember the name of my doctor. What should I do? Where should I go to get a proof of immunization? I badly need it ASAP.

2. Who has a copy of his/her proof of immunization? If you can please send it to my email so I can use it as a reference.

3. PLEASE HELP ME OUT

if you have been immunized in a hospital or local health center, then your files can be retrieved and you can just request for certificate of your immunization from that facility if you have these docs.

most of the forumers instead opted to repeat some of the shots such as 2 adult MMR, 1 adult DPT. as per hep b, you can do a titer for this.

what school are you applying for?

i think there's none. if there is one, all of us here could have taken the course there.

I think the fastest is to get the titer done. And the result of that will be your proof of immunization. Then the next thing should be repeating the shots if you lack something.
