VACCINATIONS & HEALTH

IMG_0800_previewVACCINATIONS

First things first after you have registered and committed, let’s get the immunizations out of the way! After all, we are often traveling to many parts of the country where you need to make sure you are protected from common diseases.  Please note that Volunteer Voyages is not requiring you to be vaccinated but we are highly recommending you do so of your own protection as well as your fellow group members’.

You should be up to date on your Diphtheria, Tetanus, MMR, (DPT or TDaP) and Polio vaccinations regardless of where you are traveling to in the world.  If not, get some boosters.  You should also have had your Hepatitis A and B series.  If not, you should start the series, simply because it’s good for you.

Please use this website to input your destination and follow the CDC recommendations!
