Please print the TB and Vaccination History for International Students form.
Have your healthcare provider complete and sign it. If you are currently outside the United States, your healthcare provider should NOT complete the TB Screening section of this form. The TB test must be administered while you are in the United States.
As soon as you arrive in Austin, take the completed, signed form together with your immunization records to the UHS Allergy/Immunization Clinic (Student Services Building, 2nd floor). If your healthcare provider cannot complete the form, take any other type of immunization documentation that you have.
