Health Issues for Volunteers

Vietnam has a wide variety of infectious disease.  It is the responsibility of the participant to see to their own immunization requirements.  Volunteers should have a recent (3 year) back up defense in your blood system.  The Center of Disease Control (CDC) recommends the immunizations on the attached list, but please check with your doctor as to what he recommends as well. Also, please click on Health Issues for Volunteers for the detailed information regarding causes, precaution and treatment.
