Travel Health Screening
A Health Exam is strongly recommended, but not required. You can visit the Student Health & Counseling Services (SHAC) on campus to get your “Travel Visit” consultation ($15.00 fee) and they will go through the following:
If you have your immunization record and can show that you did have Hep series before, based on your age, they may do a blood draw first to see what your current protection level is. If acceptable, no shots needed. If they feel you are below acceptable level, they will give you just one booster shot. If you know you have not ever had the shots or it has been so long then they will immediately start the series of shots if you follow their recommendation.
The Hepatitis shot series is NOT mandatory for students on this trip but is STRONGLY recommended to everyone going.
