No Vaccines Required
At the time of writing there were no required vaccines for this trip. The CDC recommends
that all travelers be up to date on their routine vaccinations and on basic travel vaccines like
Hepatitis A and Typhoid, but these are suggestions only. However, this could change in future
so we encourage you to check with the CDC yourself before meeting with your doctor.

Medication Suggestions
• An antibiotic medication for gastrointestinal illness

• A pain medication. You might need this in the unlikely event of an injury in a location
where medical attention would be delayed.

• Motion sickness medicine, if you are susceptible

Traveling with Medications

• Pack medications in your carry-on bag to avoid loss and to have them handy.

• Keep medicines in their original, labeled containers for a quicker security screen at the
airport and a better experience if you get stopped by customs while overseas.

• Bring copies of your prescriptions, written using the generic drug name rather than a
brand name to be prepared for any unforeseen loss of your medications.
