Know your travel vaccinations

Not every vaccine is for every trip. Understand the questions to ask, then get advice that fits your journey.

Yellow fever

Disease risk, vaccination advice and entry certificates are three different questions.

Hepatitis A

Food and water exposure can matter on short holidays as well as longer trips.

Hepatitis B

Assess blood and body-fluid exposure, medical needs and length of stay.

Typhoid

Vaccination and safe food and water practices work together.

Rabies

Animal contact and access to urgent care are important parts of planning.

Japanese encephalitis

Rural exposure, season and duration matter more than a country name alone.

Meningococcal disease

Some trips involve specific certificate requirements, including pilgrimage travel.
