The Health Services Center on the Oxford Campus provides vaccinations to faculty and staff when they have an assignment abroad and an immunization is recommended by the CDC (Center for Disease Control). Payment for the vaccinations will be covered by the department or international workshop or grant budget. To qualify for this benefit, you must provide documentation to the Health Services Center authorizing a transfer of funds to cover the cost of the vaccinations.

Miami University does not pay for vaccinations for employees on vacation or family members accompanying employees abroad. The Miami University Health Plan does not cover the cost of vaccinations for travel. The Butler County Health Department, Passport Health and Global Health Services are some of the community resources available for these vaccinations.

It is recommended that travelers have certain medications available to them. Generally, these are medications that treat gastrointestinal upset, parasites, or malaria. These medications are covered by the Miami health plan and should be secured through your family physician.

Miami works with local and global providers who offer faculty and staff varying levels of coverage for health, safety, and security abroad. More information can be found at Education Abroad/Health Insurance.
