Hi all,
I'm new here and hoping to find someone who is in the San Diego area and went through the Miramar college EMT program.
I signed up for an accelerated course which begins Jan. 3rd. A few days ago I received a TB test (negative), and today I gathered all vaccination records. I double checked the requirements and notice that I'm missing Varicella (chickenpox) vaccinations.
I think to myself: "Great..."
I look up the vaccinations, and find that I either need:
(a) To prove that I've had the disease
(b) Get a series of 2 vaccinations, about 4 weeks apart
(c) Get a blood test to show immunity
Now I think to myself: :sad:
I'm going to try and get the first of two vaccinations on Monday of next week, when my school student health center is open.
I cannot contact the Miramar EMT program since they are on vacation, but I'm wondering (for those of you who went there), are they stringent about something like this?
If I show proof that I've had my first dosage, will be be okay with letting me stay in the class?
Or, do they even check?
P.S. The accelerated program is 3 weeks long. I would try to get the first dose ASAP, and then get the second dose prior to finishing the course.
Please leave any advice,
Thank You
