I posted in the vaccine thread about an hour ago, but noticed that with the new forum, unless you uncheck in the drop-down menu under "what's new", read threads won't display. I'm not sure everyone has caught this new feature; I realized when trying to go back to my post and didn't find in the recents/What's New.
This subject is a matter of urgency for someone in my family, OSIT, so I decided to start new thread in hopes that more members will see this and can reply.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My 23 yo son is traveling to Rwanda in a couple of months for educational purposes. He has been un-vaccinated since birth, a choice that came with a lot of education on how to keep himself healthy and learn natural remedies, something he has embraced, fortunately. He did receive a tetanus shot after losing a battle with a planer/edger last summer. (He's lucky he didn't lose his finger!)
Now that he is traveling abroad, I'm kind of freaking out about all the vaccines that the school is requiring, or at least strongly suggesting that he would need to receive in a very short amount of time. He may choose to waive the vaccines, but Rwanda can apparently use their discretion about allowing him into the country if he doesn't have proof of receiving the yellow fever vaccine, at the very least. It seems that the program coordinator is assuming his childhood vaccines are up to date, when they aren't.
And then there's the issue of him re-entering the US if he remains un-vaxxed, should he happen to pick up something a vaccine is available for.
He has been on the iodine protocol for a few months, and convinced him that a small bottle of Lugol's will go a long way at avoiding some of the nasty pathogens that there are no vaccines for.
Does anyone have any suggestions, experience or at the very least, some reassurance, for this situation?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
