Health Information

It is the responsibility of each student to obtain the proper medical care and vaccinations prior to departure.  Although the below information is accurate, you will want to meet with a physician in order to ensure your specific medical needs are met. As each student's medical history varies, it will be up to you, along with your medical practitioner, to decide which vaccines you will need. Your faculty advisor does reserve the right to require any recommended vaccinations.
