The answer depends on a number of different factors, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which vaccines you&#8217;ve already had.<\/li>\n<li>The countries you&#8217;ll be traveling to.<\/li>\n<li>When you plan to travel.<\/li>\n<li>The activities you plan to engage in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, some countries may require a yellow fever vaccine as one of their entry requirements.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Travel Medicine Risk Factors<\/h2>\n<p>Even within the same country, some itineraries are riskier than others.\u00a0 Here are some risk factors to consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Where you&#8217;ll be staying (are you staying in a five-star hotel, a hostel, or couchsurfing in someone&#8217;s home?)<\/li>\n<li>How &#8220;adventurous&#8221; of an eater you are (will you try street food?)<\/li>\n<li>What is the purpose of your trip? For example, tourists will have a very different risk profile than a missionary or someone volunteering for disaster relief.<\/li>\n<li>What is your health status? If you&#8217;re already battling a chronic illness or a suppressed immune system, this can affect your risk of illness and the precautions you should take.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Where and When to Get Vaccinated<\/h2>\n<p>As soon as you have your travel plans in place, start figuring out what, if any, vaccines you&#8217;ll require.\u00a0 Vaccines don&#8217;t necessarily offer instant immunity; for some, it may take a few weeks or even multiple doses for your immune system to gear up to combat the disease.<\/p>\n<p>Since travel medicine is such a specialized field and there are so many individual risk factors involved, the CDC recommends that you seek out a doctor or clinic that specializes in travel medicine, especially if you have a complicated itinerary or a pre-existing condition.<\/p>\n<p>Your local health department may offer pre-travel consultations and vaccinations. Another option that may be more convenient is to use a private travel health clinic like Passport Health.<\/p>\n<p>Passport Health is the largest provider of travel health services in the US, with a nationwide network of over 200 clinics.\u00a0 They offer pre-trip counseling and vaccines, including hard-to-find vaccines that your local health department may not keep in stock.<\/p>\n<p>Protect yourself and your family &#8211; consult a travel expert ahead of time!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<dl>\n<dt>Photo credit:<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\"> <\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" title=\"Attribution License\">Some rights reserved<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/europedistrict\/\">USACE Europe District<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<section>\u00a0<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traveling internationally?
