Immunizations You may be advised to get immunizations depending on (a) where you are traveling and (b) what time of year you plan to be in certain areas. Yellow Fever, Hepatitis A/B, Diphtheria, Typhoid, and Rubella are some common immunizations recommended. You may need to allow some lead time between getting your immunizations and traveling to the area concerned, so this is one area that requires planning ahead.
To find out what immunizations, if any, are recommended and how to arrange for getting them, consult your national health service or its equivalent. Links for a handful of countries are listed below.
