〈Health management when traveling overseas〉

• ●Students nowadays have more and more opportunities to travel to various foreign countries. In these countries, diseases that are absent in Japan may be circulating, while differences in climate, exhaustion from travel, etc. may sap your physical strength, and you may become unexpectedly ill as a consequence. Make sure to get any vaccinations you need several weeks before your departure. You can check out the latest information from the website of the Quarantine Information Office, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare . You may also download a PDF version of the Health Guide for Studying Abroad at the website of the Health Service Center.
• ●If, after returning from a foreign country, you have a fever, diarrhea, or are in otherwise poor physical shape, please do not come to the university. Instead, please telephone the person in Educational Affairs who is in charge of your school and follow their instructions.
• ●In most cases when studying abroad (even if only for a short period), your medical certificate needs to contain records of certain immunizations you have received or proof that you have antibodies. If you require several types of vaccination or only a limited number of medical institutions provide vaccinations for the diseases concerned, the process could take several months, so if you know you are going to be studying abroad, we recommend that you complete your preparations ahead of time.
