“CDC.gov is very helpful when travelling. It shows vaccinations required for different countries as well as malaria prophylaxis recommendations. Of course, routine vaccinations are recommended. These include MMR, polio, hepatitis B, as well, as tetanus. Some additional vaccinations you may wish to have depending on where you’re traveling include hepatitis A, as well as, typhoid. Others that are less often used would include yellow fever. Please consult your physician depending on where you’re travelling for vaccinations and malaria prophylaxis recommendations.”
