All participants in all OWC programs must have up-to-date immunizations (i.e. booster as an adult) against measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), and polio. If you have not had a tetanus booster within five years, you must get one. Please bring records of your vaccinations.
Within the preparation period, vaccinations will be given for a number of diseases specific to the area where you will be traveling. These will include Typhoid and Hepatitis A. Teams going to Brazil will also receive a vaccination for Yellow Fever. The vaccinations do not include Hepatitis B or Rabies; if you want them make sure you have completed them before you start the preparation period (they are both multi-sequence shots so plan ahead).
If you have traveled before and have a yellow international vaccination booklet, please bring it to OWC. If you can get the vaccinations for free in your home country, please do so before arriving to OWC and bring the vaccination card.
