Travel Vaccines

Travel vaccines are a type of vaccine aimed at protecting travelers against diseases that are commonly found in foreign countries. These vaccines are important for reducing the risk of travelers becoming infected with diseases such as cholera, typhoid, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and yellow fever. The importance of these vaccines increases if the traveler is visiting an area of the world where medical access may be limited. Travel vaccines can also help to prevent travelers from bringing serious diseases back to their home countries. They are a vital part of international travel and should always be discussed with a healthcare provider before embarking on a trip.
