Traveling to other countries can increase your chances of getting and spreading diseases that are not common in the United States. It's important to plan ahead and make sure you have received all recommended vaccines at least a month before you leave.

​

In addition to routine vaccines (vaccines recommended for everyone depending on their age and vaccination history) there may be specific vaccines recommended for each country you plan to visit.
