IMMUNIZATIONS

While no immunizations are required by law for the countries we visit, JCU strongly recommends receiving immunizations recommended by a medical professional.  The Immersion Program will offer one to two opportunities per semester to receive immunizations from a medical professional at JCU’s Health Center. 

Fall '08 Immunization Sessions: One to two sessions will be held in mid-October and/or mid-November. All January immersion participants will be notified via e-mail with the dates, times, and necessary materials.

Spring '09 Immunization Sessions: One two two sessions will be held in mid-March and/or mid April. All May immersion participants will be notified via e-mail wiht the dates, times, and necessary materials.

Students may choose to visit their own doctor.  All immunizations must be paid for by the student participant.  Immunizations costs are above and beyond the $1200.00 student fee.
