• RE: INFLUENZA IMMUNIZATION

  The influenza immunization (seasonal and H1N1) are NOT mandatory, HOWEVER, students who do not obtain influenza immunization may encounter challenges with clinical placement.  Some placement agencies may require that students receive influenza immunization and may require that students provide evidence of immunization.

  Further, in the event of an outbreak any student without the vaccination may be denied access to the placement facility thereby jeopardizing the successful completion of the clinical course. If you chose not to get the vaccine, George Brown College cannot guarantee you an alternate placement facility.

  Influenza immunization is available through the Toronto Public Health (see http://www.toronto.ca/health/cdc/h1n1/clinics.htm for details).  Also, George Brown College is seeking additional opportunities for students and faculty to obtain immunization and will provide this information as soon as it becomes available.

  Students who are experiencing flu symptoms should NOT attend placement or class (including exams).  Please inform your faculty advisor and/or preceptor if you are absent due to the flu.  For online self-assessment of the flu, please visit:  http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/ccom/flu/h1n1/public/tools/assessment/default.aspx

  If you have flu symptoms, please consult your health care provider. You may return to placement and classes 24 hours after the fever and any symptoms other than a mild cough have been resolved. Typically, this takes five to eight days. When returning to placement, you may be asked by your placement faculty to report to occupational health department.
