International Travel

Travel vaccines can help protect you from diseases that may be uncommon in the U.S. but present in other parts of the world. The vaccines recommended for your trip depend on your destination, health history, length of stay, and planned activities. Preparing early gives you time to understand which vaccines may be recommended or required before departure.

Routine Vaccinations

Make sure routine vaccinations such as MMR, Tdap, polio, and varicella (chickenpox) are up to date before you travel. Depending on your age and health history, additional vaccines or boosters may be recommended.

Destination-Specific Vaccines

Your destination may have unique health risks. Vaccines such as yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, cholera, or rabies may be recommended depending on where you're going and what you'll be doing.

Food & Water-Related Vaccines

Depending on your destination, hepatitis A or typhoid vaccination may be recommended to help protect against certain infections associated with contaminated food or water.

Mosquito-Borne Disease Prevention

Some destinations have mosquito-borne health risks such as yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, dengue, or malaria. Vaccines may be recommended for certain risks such as yellow fever or Japanese encephalitis. Malaria prevention may include prescription medication and mosquito-bite precautions, while dengue prevention for U.S. travelers focuses on avoiding mosquito bites.

What vaccines do I need for international travel?

The vaccines recommended for international travel depend on your destination, health history, age, trip duration, and planned activities. Depending on your travel plans, recommendations may include vaccines for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, rabies, or other diseases. A travel vaccine consultation can help determine which vaccines may be appropriate for your trip.

When should I get travel vaccines before my trip?

Ideally, schedule your travel vaccine consultation at least 4–6 weeks before departure, since some vaccines require multiple doses or time to become effective. Even if your trip is coming up sooner, it may still be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider about recommended vaccines and other precautions.

Are vaccines required for international travel?

Vaccine requirements vary by destination and travel itinerary. Some countries may require proof of certain vaccinations for entry, while other vaccines may be recommended based on local health risks. A travel vaccine consultation can help you understand which requirements and recommendations may apply to your trip.
