Medical Information
For Those Planning to Attend FTTA
It is very important to avoid contagious illnesses among the trainees, as well as to avoid unnecessary medical expenses. Prices for medical care can be high in Orange County. For example, it is not unusual for a chest x-ray to cost more than $100.
Therefore, before arriving in Anaheim, all trainees should have:
- A chest x-ray or a TB skin test.
- Blood pressure measurement (must have been done within the last year).
- Tetanus immunization (must have been done within the last ten years).
- Measles immunization (must have been done twice within a lifetime. Persons born before 1957 are exempt. Since immunization is required for admission to many colleges. Student Health Service records may show evidence that it was done).
