travel vaccines

Destination-required disease prevention

Travel vaccines are immunizations recommended or required before visiting certain countries or regions.

They protect against diseases uncommon in the traveler's home country but prevalent at the destination—yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis A.

Some countries require proof of specific vaccinations for entry: We need to get our travel vaccines before the trip to Kenya.
