INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS OF BACHELOR'S AND SUBSEQUENT MASTER'S STUDIES - VACCINATION OF STUDENTS AGAINST VIRAL HEPATITIS B (hereinafter referred to as VHB)
At the beginning of the winter semester there will be a check whether all students in the fields of physiotherapy are properly vaccinated against VHB and have enough antibodies against measles.
1) Please be vaccinated before starting the proper teaching of the winter semester and have a certifi-cate of vaccination against VHB or resistance to infection issued. A copy of this confirmation will be selected by an authorized employee of the International Students Office and kept for possible docu-mentation of student vaccination. (The obligation to vaccinate students of the Specialization in Health Care program against VHB is stipulated by Decree No. 355 of 17 October 2017, amending Decree No. 537/2006 Coll., on vaccination against infectious diseases)
2) Due to the increasing occurrence of measles in the Czech Republic and the requirements of medi-cal facilities for work safety, the student provides proof of a sufficient amount of antibodies against measles or in case of insufficient measles antibody levels, evidence of current revaccination. A rec-ord of childhood measles vaccination is insufficient.
3) Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 is not currently required by medical facilities during student internships, but students must undergo a current regime of anti-epidemiological measures (especially testing).
The university is obliged to ensure that practical teaching and practice are carried out only by stu-dents who have undergone special vaccination (vaccination against VHB) or have proof of resistance to the disease. The university is therefore obliged not to include a student who does not submit to the type of vaccination stipulated by law in the relevant teaching. Thus, the student would not be able to meet the requirements of the school and would have to consider the possible early termination of studies in the field.
Copies of the confirmation of vaccination against VHB and a sufficient amount of antibodies or re-vaccination against measles should ideally be submitted on the enclosed form by 30 September 2021 to the International Students Office.
In case of any ambiguity, please contact the International Student Coordinator:
