Should I get vaccinated to join this program?
We haven’t seen or heard any yellow fever or malaria cases since we started this project in 2018. However, we have seen couple of dengue fever cases. Fortunately, the local health center is prepared to treat this illness. If you have access to dengue fever vaccine, we recommend that you have it. None of our volunteers/interns in all these years had this vaccine as it is difficult to find.
