<p>i just wanted to know whether cmu requires official sealed proof of the vaccinations or do they just take the students word on that medical history form that we were supposed to submit...</p>
<p>and what r u freshmen doin bout the meningitis vaccination/tuberculin skin test...gettin it b4 hand or takin it at cmu?</p>
<p>i'll be taking meningitis vaccination at cmu..
my doctor wrote a note for it..</p>
<p>They don't require official sealed proof. I forget which shot it was for, but they actually took my verbal word for it that I'd gotten it. That's probably because it was freshman move-in day and everything was hectic and they were trying to process hundreds of people efficiently. Yeah, they're not super-strict about it.</p>
<p>I had the skin test and got a note from my doctor for taking it and being negative. But it's written in Chinese... I simply wonder if it will work?</p>
<p>hohohmm: Uhh...that might be a bit of a problem unless they happen to have someone who can read Chinese on hand when they need to read it. Is there a way to get an English version or get an official translation of the Chinese version?</p>
<p>crap...i got my meningitis vaccine and a x-ray done 2day....it REALLY sux........no sideeffects n all..its just that I genuinely hate vaccinations...tho their intentions were good :)</p>
<p>Indeed all my immurization certificates are written by Chinese. Sure there's no reason to expect else when you are in China and had gone through the whole exam-driven education system...
To get a sort of official translation I'll have to pay about a hundred dollar. It's just that some bureaucrats are trying ruthlessly to squeeze the last trickle out of me after I've suffered CMU's tuition. Can't the medical staffs simply drag a Chinese Ph.D or graduate student, which seems quite at hand, and have those original documents translated orally?</p>
<p>hohohmm: Call or email Student Health Services and ask.</p>
