Vaccines
Vaccines are available at the UTS Health Service and most of them incur a fee. If you have private health insurance, you may be able to receive a partial rebate for the cost of the vaccine; please check with your health insurance company in regards to this. Depending on the vaccine, you may need more than one dose.
Nursing students can receive a discount on vaccines required for compliance. Please let our friendly reception team know when booking your appointment.
