Don’t Forget Your Travel Vaccinations

Some destinations require proof of vaccination (like yellow fever), while others strongly recommend vaccines to protect against local diseases. The right vaccinations depend on:

• Where you’re going (country, region, even rural vs. urban).
• Length and style of travel (backpacking vs. resorts).
• Personal health history.

The best first step is to check official guidance and book a consultation with a travel health clinic well before your trip (ideally 6–8 weeks ahead).

Pro tip: Travel health clinics often provide more than just vaccines—they’ll also advise on things like malaria pills, food and water precautions, and region-specific health risks.
