While CIS Abroad does not currently require immunizations to go abroad, some programs may require them to protect participant health, such as our veterinary science programs where participants regularly work with animals. Please talk with your CIS Abroad Program Coordinator to see what may be required
We recommend you make an appointment to discuss your upcoming travel with a travel clinic or your primary care doctor. Ask any questions that arise about medication, immunizations, and general health tips for being in a foreign country. It's good to be aware of possibilities, and some immunizations may be strongly recommended.
For more information about immunizations please check the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Traveler's Health website. Under "For Travelers" choose your destination and select the option for "Extended Stay/Study Abroad" to get the most up-to-date recommendations for immunizations and vaccines.
