Immunizations / Vaccinations for Students, Is it required for Canada??

[rahul_new]

Hello Everyone !!!
Greetings for the day...

Do we need any kind of immunization before travelling to Canada for higher studies ??

Searched a lot on my University Website but was unable to find any information on this !!!

I will be going to Canada for a Master's Program at UOttawa, so i was wondering if i would need any vaccinations before travel to Ottawa, Ontario ??

Few names i found on the web are : (Do we really need these ??)

Gardasil /Cervarix
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis A
Meningococcal Vaccine
MMR
Varivax (chicken pox)

Is there any need of documentation for these vaccinations / immunizations ??

Would be highly grateful if anyone could help in this regard ....

Thanks

Call/email UOttawa and ask.

I don't have specific information, but in my experience (US and UK) universities usually don't ask for immunization records. That said, before entering grad school (in the US) I was asked for documentation that I had received two measles shots. I think there was a recent outbreak in the area.
