Vaccinations Before Coming to South Korea
There are no mandatory vaccinations for entering South Korea, since most people have already received basic childhood vaccinations. If faculty would like to receive optional vaccinations as a precaution, they can ask their healthcare provider for boosters such as Japanese encephalitis, tetanus, Hepatitis A, B (if they do not have antibodies) etc.

Students may not self-medicate while at school. Administration of any medication to any student, whether medication be over-the-counter or prescription, requires written permission from a student’s parent/guardian. Medication will be administered only under the following conditions:

2. The parent/guardian must provide Medication Authorization Form as to the amount and type of medication(prescription or nonprescription) that should be administered.
3. Only the school nurse or another person designated by the nurse is permitted to administer medication.
