TB Testing, Vaccinations, and Routine Medical Care

蹤獲扦requires all students to be screened for tuberculosis (TB). TB testing is done using a Quantiferon blood test (QFT).  Most students purchase medical insurance through 蹤獲扦.  The cost of TB testing is fully covered by the insurance policy through 蹤獲扦. Please note, however, that if you purchase medical insurance through a different company, you will be responsible to pay any amount not covered by your insurance company.  For additional information about the TB Testing requirement for students at 蹤獲扦 University, please visit .

You are not required to get a medical check-up before coming to the U.S. You are also not required to get any particular vaccines (unless you live in one of the residence halls). We do recommend, however, that you receive whatever routine medical care that you feel is important before coming to the U.S. If you have a previous medical condition that requires continued treatment in Wichita, we recommend that you bring a copy of your medical records with you.

If you plan to live in one of 蹤獲扦 Universitys residence halls, you must be vaccinated for meningitis. We recommend that you get the meningitis vaccine before coming to the U.S. If you get the vaccine in your country, you must bring proof of your vaccination with you to the U.S. If desired, you may get the meningitis vaccine from Student Health Services. If you purchase medical insurance through 蹤獲扦, you will not be charged for the vaccine.
