Suggested Shots / Vaccinations: Here is a list of recommended vaccinations from the Center for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov).
  • Hepatitis A or immune globulin (IG).
  • Hepatitis B, if you might be exposed to blood, have sexual contact with the local population, stay longer than 6 months, or be exposed through medical treatment.
  • Japanese encephalitis, only if you plan to visit rural areas for 4 weeks or more, except under special circumstances, such as a known outbreak of Japanese encephalitis.
  • Rabies, if you might be exposed to wild or domestic animals through your work or recreation.
  • Typhoid, particularly if you are visiting developing countries in this region.
  • As needed, booster doses for tetanus-diphtheria and measles, and a one-time dose of polio for adults. Hepatitis B vaccine is now recommended for all infants and for children ages 11-12 years who did not receive the series as infants.


  • As traveler's diarrhea is the most common illness in travelers, we recommend that you bring both over the counter and prescription anti-diarrheal medication (i.e. Immodium, Lomotil; Cipro).

    Health in China:

    Only drink bottled water or water that's been boiled. When buying water from street vendors always check to make sure the bottle is sealed properly.

    When going out it is always a good idea to bring tissues or toilet paper. Chinese bathrooms almost never have toilet paper, so it is best to go out prepared.

    If you go out to sample some of China's nightlife, it is important that program participants use common sense and practice moderation. The travel insurance policy provided through EducAsian is not valid if you are injured while intoxicated.

    There are several medical clinics in and around the University. There is a clinic on campus, and for serious health problems or emergencies major hospitals and international clinics all have foreign trained medical staff.
