IV. MINIMUM IMMUNIZATION AND HEALTH-SCREENING REQUIREMENTS
A. General Requirement
Prior to participating in patient-care activities, students must provide documentation demonstrating compliance with NLU PA Program health requirements.
Students must satisfy:
1. Applicable Illinois immunization requirements; 2. Current CDC/ACIP recommendations applicable to healthcare personnel and healthcare students; 3. Applicable NLU requirements; 4. Requirements established by individual clinical affiliates; and 5. Additional requirements resulting from occupational risk, public-health requirements, or an infectious-disease outbreak. Clinical affiliates may establish requirements that are more restrictive than the Program's minimum requirements.
