Vaccination against diseases is one of the effective health interventions you can do yourself and the public. Plan to vaccinate at least a month before your trip as most vaccines need to be given ahead of time to give you full protection against a disease. Vaccines protect travelers from getting diseases abroad and for travelers it is divided into two categories: required, and recommended.
Required vaccine is one that travelers must have in order to enter a country, based on that country’s government regulations. In most circumstances, yellow fever is the only vaccine required by certain countries.
Recommended vaccines are those recommended for travelers to protect their health even though they aren’t required for entry by the destination government. The vaccines recommended for a traveler depend on several things, including age, health, and itinerary.
