Medical Considerations
 
Before leaving for your placement you will need to visit your local Travel Health Clinic or talk to your doctor regarding the suggested immunizations for your host country. Plan ahead for your vaccinations as some are administered over several weeks. Vaccines provide protection against diseases. If you enter countries where immunizations are required by law, you must present a record of vaccinations. The most widely recognized document for this purpose is the yellow World Health Organization booklet, which is available from most doctors and health centres. All vaccinations should be recorded in this booklet. Carry this document with your passport.

You should pack your own personal first aid kit to take with you on your placement. Be prepared for the common cold and for stomach disorders often caused by the change in diet. We provide a basic checklist for medical supplies in the orientation handbook.
