Immunizations


You can visit your physician or local county health department.  Begin this process right away, so that you don’t run out of time.  Some of these shots are in series, and must be administered a specific time intervals.  The cost for these immunizations is not included in the cost of the trip.  Most of them will cover you for a lifetime.  So, this will be an initial investment into your missions career.  You will receive an immunization record that must be carried on the trip.

Absolutely required:
  • Yellow Fever
  • Malaria
    • You may use the weekly or daily meds prescribed by your doctor.
    • Or, you may choose a homeopathic preventative, Demal200, available at www.blueturtlegroup.com

Highly recommended:
  • Polio
  • Hepatitis A/Hepatitis B (Twin Rix)
  • Typhoid
  • Tetnus

Your health care professional will discuss other preventatives that he/she recommends.
