健康保险和免疫接种

Although traveling abroad is an experience of a lifetime, your new adventure can present unplanned health complications. 我未雨绸缪是个好主意。

NWACC管理项目的健康保险

Unfortunately, accidents and illnesses are a part of life, and can occur while visiting another country. For this reason, NWACC requires anyone participating in a study abroad program administered by NWACC to be covered under a health insurance plan, which includes medical evacuation and repatriation.

我f you are a student participating in an NWACC program, you will not need to shop for a health insurance plan. The insurance plan is included in the cost of the study abroad trip. The 出国留学 Office has already vetted an accident and sickness plan that covers you while you are abroad. The current insurance plan is administered by 国际学生保险.

This international student insurance policy will cover students only during the official dates of the study abroad program. 在你的课程之前或之后，旅行都不能延长。我f you are traveling on your own outside of the program dates (either before or after), we strongly encourage you to purchase additional insurance so you will have international health insurance for your entire trip abroad. 你必须自己支付额外的保险费用； you cannot purchase it through the 出国留学 Office.

免疫接种和药物治疗

世界各地的健康问题各不相同。我t's important to be aware of the health issues at the destination(s) you’re traveling to and prepare accordingly. Likewise, laws surrounding medications vary from country to country, so you should also research the legality and availability of the medicines you take in your destination.

旅行必备疫苗

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a thorough list of vaccines and medicines you should consider getting before traveling. Please visit the CDC website for health information on your travel destination(s).
You should get all of your vaccinations at least 4-6 weeks before departure to allow the vaccines to take full effect and provide time for vaccines that require more than one dose.

带一份你的处方，以防你必须在目的地购买药物。 Have your doctor write it in the generic name, as drug brand names can differ in other countries.
Take a signed doctor's note describing the medical necessity of any prescription drugs you take; this is especially important for 控制物质s or injectable medicines (such as insulin).
我f you plan to travel with a prescribed 控制物质 (e.g. ADHD medication or prescription pain pills), check the legality and availability of these medicines in your destination.
