Why appropriate vaccines must be taken before any foreign trip?

Before heading up for the trip there are many things, which are considered highly important in order to have a healthy and a safe trip. Besides making a note on what all things to carry there are few things, which are required to be done before the trip. And out of all are travel vaccinations.

However in order to get the travel immunizations in NYC or from anywhere around the globe, one needs to contact travel clinic, rather than running up for hospitals. This is because travel clinics are expertise in providing-up-to-date information about the diseases spread and vaccines, which are required to prevent from those diseases. Not only had this after getting vaccinated travelers are being provided with travel certificates, which are a proof of them being vaccinated. Certificates are must to be carried because without it custom duty persons at airport won’t allow one to travel in the particular country where the person is heading.

Further mentioned below are 7 vaccines, which are recommended by travel clinic doctor:

  • Flu: Also known as influenza, it is mostly found in North America. The traveler coming in contact with it might face certain symptoms like fever, headache, and cough. And if not taken certain precautions or vaccines then it might lead to death.
  • Hepatitis A: Due to contaminated water and food people come in contact with Hepatitis A. Mostly this is found in the areas of Indian subcontinent, South America, the Far East and Eastern Europe.
  • Yellow fever: It is the most serious illness that causes death. So, travelers who are heading towards West and Central Africa and in parts of Central and South America, they need to take this vaccination. Although this vaccine last for 10 years but still it is recommended to be taken before heading for the trip or even incase if one is passing-by high-risky countries.
  • Japanese Encephalitis: This disease is prominently found in the area of Southeast Asia and South Asia. After yellow fever this is also the most deadly disease, which causes a risk of death.

    Now after reading this article you must have got an idea about travel vaccines that are needed to be taken if you are residing in New York and heading up for the trip.

    Although, some people might think that they have already taken those vaccines during their previous trip, then what’s the use of taking those vaccinations again? So, I would like to tell them that each time one is going for a trip; one must take vaccines because there would be no side effects of it, rather it would be a booster for already taken vaccines.
