Vaccinations

Students should consult their faculty instructor about required vaccinations for the specific country(ies) that they are visiting. Please DO NOT wait until the week before traveling to get your vaccines as they may not be as effective in preventing disease.

• To find out which types of vaccinations, if any, you are advised/required to receive, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website:

• Travel Smart: Get Vaccinated: https://www.cdc.gov/features/vaccines-travel/

• Our Student Health Center can provide students with assistance in finding out what vaccines you may require. Contact the Health Center as soon as possible at 804-752-3041 to make an appointment to be seen and discuss your options for travel medications and vaccinations, as the process may take 3-6 weeks.

• Passport Health also offers a variety of travel health services such as customized, destination-specific travel health consultations, low-cost travel immunizations, state-certified Yellow Fever status, and more. For more information, visit their website http://www.passporthealthusa.com/.
