Vaccinations
Do NOT procrastinate when getting your vaccinations. Some are REQUIRED while others are only RECOMMENDED (see list below). Vaccinations can cost money if not covered by insurance and may take several weeks to make an appointment. Some vaccinations also need to be administered several weeks prior to departure.
You MUST bring a copy of your immunization record with you to Ghana. No record means you cannot participate and you will be left at the compound.
Influenza vaccine is NOT required, but is highly recommended,not only for your health but for those whom cannot be vaccinated due to chronic illness both here in the US and abroad.
YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE COUNTRY OF GHANA IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR YELLOW FEVER VACCINE! Plan accordingly.
