| Learn before you go! An educated traveler is a healthy traveler. There is access to good information from reliable sources such as the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Travelers can go to the CDC web site www.cdc.gov and follow the links to Traveler’s Health to begin to learn more about diseases, country entry requirements, and recommended vaccines.
Except for yellow fever, very few vaccinations are “required” but many are “recommended.” Travelers should get recommended vaccines to protect themselves from illness. We try to help patients prioritize their protection issues specific to their individual itinerary.
The Travel and Tropical Medicine Center can provide you with other useful resources specific to your particular health situation or travel itinerary.
