Whilst vaccination is not a mandatory requirement to study chiropractic, please note that students who are not vaccinated, or who cannot demonstrate immunity against the diseases listed above, may not be able to participate in the full range of placements available.

If you are not vaccinated and cannot demonstrate immunity placement opportunities may be restricted to ensure the safety of yourself and your patients. Decisions will be made on an individual risk-assessed basis.

Your Occupational Health check costs vary depending on the number of additional vaccines you need and how much your doctor charges for completing the form.

We would advise reaching out to your GP Practice/Doctor as soon as possible, so that there is no delay. Call or email them to remind them of the importance and urgency of this process.  Delays will have an impact on your ability to commence placement.

If you’re from outside the UK, you can use ask your GP (general practitioner), family doctor, or physician to complete the Occupational Health form (so long as they have access to your health records).

If you do not have an NHS number, please enter ‘overseas’ in the relevant field/area on the form.

Please note: International students are required to cover the cost of all vaccination processes.

Please be aware that immunisation for the purposes of travel available in pharmacies and similar providers is not the same as immunisation for occupational health reasons and will not count towards your eligibility to practice. Always seek advice from your GP or equivalent healthcare service.  The Hep 3 step vaccination is required, not the 2 step travel vaccination.

This would depend upon the time scale of the 2 vaccines (which would determine when the 3^rd would be given) The typical time scale would be 2 years so if you have received 2 vaccines within 2 years, a local Healthcare provider may administer the 3^rd vaccine and then a blood test to check immunity 6-8 weeks following this.

The standard vaccines for meningitis are the ACYW.

For more information on MenACWY vaccine, please visit .

You will need confirmation from your GP Practice or equivalent if overseas that you have had chickenpox.

A home blood test kit will not be acceptable as we would require a sample from a certified services such as a GP practice, this is inline with green book guidance (Dept of Health).

If your GP confirms then this is sufficient, otherwise you will need a blood test.

UKVI require some overseas students to undertake a TB test as part of their visa application.

However, not all countries are requested to do this.  Occupational Health will require students from  to undertake a blood test when they enrol, the student is liable for the cost of this blood test.

We cannot accept a photo of your arm, but we can check your BCG scar at an appointment in Bournemouth with a Healthcare provider and that will serve as your evidence.

If you’re unsure as to what is required, or you are struggling to attain the vaccinations necessary, please contact Admissions.
