Vaccination can help you to avoid many unpleasant situations when travelling, while giving you a peace of mind at the same time. On the other hand, it is probably not a good idea to have too many new vaccinations, especially if they are not targeted for your specific destination and activities. Please speak to your travel medicine specialist before your holiday. Below are some useful tips.

Vaccination against yellow fever is required only if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever. You may check the list of those countries on the web page of CDC (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention) to see if you may be required to get the yellow fever vaccine: wwwnc.cdc.gov

Among other vaccinations, tetanus, typhoid, and hepatitis A vaccines are recommended.

Some travellers also consider vaccination against hepatitis B, cholera, Japanese encephalitis and rabies. 

The above information may not be complete and we do not guarantee its regular update. This article cannot replace consultation with your healthcare provider. If you are interested in vaccination you may wish to speak to your travel medicine specialist 6-8 weeks before your holiday.
