Things to consider while planning to travel!


Other than spending hours on, which clothes to take, beach bags, swimwear, and flip-flops there are few more important things, which are highly important to be considered before heading up for the trip i.e. visiting to a travel clinic, getting travel vaccination and lastly travel certificate.

However, there are few holidaymakers who do not consider it important and travel to areas, which are prone to life threatening diseases. Although such things are not worth skipping because it would spoil your holiday, make you sick and even cause dangerous health hazards like death.

So, getting travel vaccinations from NYC or anywhere around the globe would definitely save you from travel related infections, such as yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis A & B and more.

However, there are few things, which you should consider while planning your travel vaccination:

  • Country you are visiting: The first and foremost factor that is considered important for getting vaccination is the region of a country where the traveler is visiting. This is because different areas are prone to different diseases and likewise according to that one needs to get vaccination according to the place one is visiting. For example, if you are visiting West and Central Africa or in parts of Central and South America, then one needs to get yellow fever vaccination; if one is visiting South-East Asia, the Middle and Far East, Southern Europe and Africa, then one needs to get Hepatitis B vaccine.

  • Travelling time period: Along with, which place one is visiting, time period of travelling is also important. This is because some diseases depend on certain times of the year.

  • Staying facility: Staying in rural or urban area is also a reason of causing diseases. This is because staying in hotels is much safer than staying in hostels or camping areas.

  • Duration of stay: Time duration of stay also matters, as greater the stay greater would be the risk of being exposed to diseases.

  • Age of traveler: Age also matters while giving vaccinations because vaccines given to an adult are entirely different as those given to a child.

  • Work during the stay: Either one is doing business work or is spending a lot of time on outdoor activities such as trekking, what work one is doing also matter during receiving of vaccinations.

  • Are you aid worker or in a medical setting: Travelers who are working in a refugee camp or are a doctor, they even need to get travel immunization from NYC, as they would be getting in contact with various people, who would be prone to various diseases and that might eventually cause them diseases.
