Millions of people all around the globe travel internationally each day whether it’s for family vacations, romantic getaways, or business trips.

 

While traveling to different countries and regions can be exciting, it also exposes you to a multitude of diseases that your body simply isn’t prepared for.

 

Most third-world countries have numerous common deadly virulent diseases that can not only ruin your trip but also cause serious long-term health problems.

 

Better Safe than Sorry!

 

The good news is that you don’t have to cancel all your travel plans; just make sure you are vaccinated before you visit a particular part of the world.

 

Getting vaccinated against certain diseases that are common in the country you plan on traveling to can protect your health and prevent you from carrying the disease back home.

 

The Best Time to Get Vaccinated

 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you should get vaccinated at least a month before you travel internationally. That’s because your body needs time to build up immunity for the particular disease, and that can take several weeks after being vaccinated.

 

For diseases like Yellow Fever, it’s recommended to get vaccinated at least 10 days before traveling to a country that still has active Yellow fever cases.

 

Travel Vaccine Categories

The CDC has divided travel vaccines into three simple categories. these include;

 

• Routine vaccines required for everyone living in the United States
• Required vaccines that one must have based on different country’s entry regulations
• Vaccines that are recommended by the CDC for travelers to protect their health

 

To decide which vaccine you require, your doctor must take into consideration the country you are visiting and their vaccination requirements, your previous medical and vaccination history, and any other health concerns you might have!
