Get vaccinated.
Campers may get injured or sick because of the activities they do and the close living conditions at camp. Vaccinations can help protect against certain diseases and conditions. Be sure your vaccinations and your family’s vaccinations are up-to-date. Ask your doctor or nurse what vaccinations are recommended. He or she may recommend tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), meningitis, and/or hepatitis A, depending on your medical history, destination, and other factors.
