Quick Summary of Vaccines

Hepatitis A: "Should NOT leave home without it!" Hepatitis A is a viral disease transmitted via contaminated food and water. The Hepatitis A virus can be found worldwide, even in the United States. Countries with high or imminent risk are found in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Eastern Europe.

Typhoid (oral or injectable): Typhoid fever is a bacterial disease, also spread through contaminated food and water. Risk for exposure to typhoid often exists in the same locations as Hepatitis A.

Hepatitis B: Hepatitis B is a virus transmitted through contact with blood and/or body fluids. Risk for exposure to Hepatitis B is worldwide.

Twinrix (Adult Hepatitis A & B): Hepatitis A/B vaccine is a great way to get vaccinated for both Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B at the same time.

Japanese Encephalitis (JAE): JAE is also a viral disease spread by mosquitos from infected animals (usually pigs and wading birds) to humans. Recommendations are made according to your itinerary.

Meningococcal Meningitis: Bacterial Meningococcal disease enters the body through the upper respiratory tract. This disease frequently occurs in large epidemics in developing countries.

Rabies: Many developing countries do not have animal vaccination programs and some do not have access to the treatment, Rabies Immune Globulin, that is needed when exposed. Therefore, rabies vaccine pre-exposure may be recommended.

Immune Globulin (IG): IG is used for infants below the recommended minimum age for Hepatitis A vaccine.



Vaccine Requirements
Versus Recommendations

   • Requirement: A vaccine is    required when you have to show    proof of immunization for entry    into a country. These    vaccinations are generally    required to keep you from    bringing a disease into the    country.

   Recommendation: A vaccine    recommendation is made when    a disease exists in a country    and there is a vaccine available    
for protection against that    disease.

 

 
 


Routine Immunizations:

The following vaccines are routine immunizations
that everyone in the United States should get
according to appropriate guidelines.

• Influenza

• Measles/Mumps/Rubella

• Pneumococcal

• Polio

• PPD Skin Testing (TB)

• Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis

• Varicella (Chickenpox)

 
 


Travel Immunizations:

When you're planning for international travel, you always need to make sure that you have the proper documentation to meet the country's requirements. But, what does that entail? Everyone remembers that they have to bring their passports when they travel to foreign countries. What some people forget until it is too late, however, is that many countries have vaccination requirements that international travelers must meet. This is particularly true of those that have had cases of certain diseases in the past.
