Vaccination
-Hepatitis A
-Hepatitis B
-Tetanus
-Typhoid
-Malaria
Every volunteer should obtain Typhoid and Oral Malaria vaccines. Hepatitis A, B, and tetanus vaccinations should already have been receieved if attending school in the U.S., however some may need these as well. If they do not need Hep A and Hep B, they are given in doses that are months apart, so the student will need as much time as possible to complete these. However, if only one or two doses are receieved before departure than for Honduras, this is okay, and they should receive the final dose(s) upon return to the U.S. Vaccinations can usually be obtained at the university health clinic or through each volunteer's personal health care provider.
