The provinces and territories are responsible for immunization programs. If you do not have your immunization records contact Public Health Services or your provincial/territorial Ministry of Health.

- Tetanus/Diphtheria (Td)
- Pertussis
- Polio
- Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
- Tuberculin skin test (TST)
- Hepatitis B (HB)

Other immunizations may be required for certain clinical placements and in specific circumstances, such as disease outbreaks. Students who refuse or are unable to comply with this requirement may be at risk of not being able to complete required components of their program.
Please take your immunization record to the University of Saskatchewan Student Health Centre, your Primary Health Care Practitioner, or your local Public Health Services to ensure the current status of your immunizations and to receive any outstanding immunizations. Students are responsible for any associated costs.
