Routine Vaccinations
Check with your healthcare provider: you and your family may need routine as well as recommended vaccinations. Before travel, be sure you and your children are up to date on all routine immunizations according to schedules approved by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACIP). See the schedule for adults and the schedule for infants and children. Some schedules can be accelerated for travel.
See your doctor at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to allow time for shots to take effect. If it is less than 4 weeks before you leave, you should still see your doctor. It might not be too late to get your shots or medications as well as other information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while traveling.

I'm finally in to this blog thingee. I think I have the answers to recent questions, i.e., times of the training and the trip. Do we need malaria prophylaxis for the trip? I look forward to seeing everyone again on the 9th.

Bill,
My doctor recommended, based on the CDC information, that a malaria treatment for each participant. Your pharmarcist may have to order it, so you should check into that soon.
