Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Programme
Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent seasonal influenza and its associated complications.

Our qualified nurses are on hand to administer the vaccines and provide health education towards vaccination.

N95 Respiratory Fit Test Programme
In order to ensure the safety of students in clinical settings, the Centre conducts respiratory fit tests for newly enrolled students. These tests are crucial as they assess whether the students are properly fitted with respiratory protective equipment, such as masks, which are essential for their protection against potential airborne hazards while working in healthcare environments.
The centre provides guidance throughout the testing process to ensure that each student understands the importance of proper fit and is equipped with the necessary knowledge to maintain their safety during clinical practice.
