Planning for Healthy Travel
International travelers can take a
number of simple steps to avoid potential health problems before and
during travel. International travelers should contact their
physicians, local health departments, or private or public agencies
that advise international travelers at least 4 to 6 weeks before
departure to schedule an appointment to receive current health
information on the countries they plan to visit, obtain vaccinations
and needed medications as indicated, and address any special
needs.
Travelers should be aware of the occurrence of
any disease outbreaks in their international destinations. Current travel
notices on diseases of international concern are posted on the Travelers' Health
home page on the CDC website at
www.cdc.gov/travel/.
Required Vaccinations
The only vaccine required by International
Health Regulations is yellow fever vaccination for travel to certain countries
in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical South America. Meningococcal
vaccination is required by the government of Saudi Arabia for annual travel
during the Hajj.
Recommended Vaccinations
These vaccines are recommended to protect
travelers from illnesses present in other parts of the world and to prevent the
importation of infectious diseases across international borders. Which
vaccinations you need depends on a number of factors including your destination,
whether you will be spending time in rural areas, the season of the year you are
traveling, your age, health status, and previous immunizations.
