Immunisation
Immunisation clearance
The University encourages students, staff and visitors to be vaccinated to protect their health and the health of the broader Monash community, and provides access to vaccinations through the University Health Service. For more information please visit COVID-19 updates page.
Immunisations required in Early Childhood education settings
Several kindergarten and long day care centres have implemented local policies requiring all staff, including pre-service teachers, who have contact with children in their care to have current immunisations against the diseases for measles, mumps and rubella (also known as MMR immunisation), and diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis/whooping cough (also known as dTpa immunisation).
Immunisations are the safest and most effective way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
Depending on your placement host, some students in Early Childhood or Early Childhood & Primary courses may be required to verify their evidence of having these immunisations in order to protect the children that they will be working with from these diseases; as well as protecting themselves from being infected by the children.
The Professional Experience Office will contact you via email in advance of your placement if you are allocated to a centre requiring evidence of early childhood immunisations.
