INFO ON TRAVEL VACCINES AND HOW TO GET THEM

Updated December 2023

If you are traveling to an exotic destination, you may be wondering, what are travel vaccines and how do I get them? Read below to find the answers and more!

WHAT ARE TRAVEL VACCINES?

Travel vaccines are vaccines that reduce your risk of getting sick from travel related diseases, such as yellow fever, typhoid and more. These types of vaccines may be recommended if you are visiting places in South America, Africa and SE Asia.

Travel related vaccines include the following:

Yellow Fever

Typhoid

Rabies

Japanese Encephalitis

Cholera

Keep in mind, even routine vaccines, like Hepatitis A and Tetanus, are important to consider when traveling.

DO I REALLY NEED VACCINES TO TRAVEL?

Aside from yellow fever and COVID, in some cases, you are not required to get any of these vaccines for your trip. They are optional. You decide based on the cost and benefits to you.

Ask yourself, how much time and money would you lose if you were sick even for just one day on your trip?

To help weigh your options, it is best to talk with a health care professional to discuss your individual risk based on your trip and your health history.

Get the vaccines you need at a convenient location near you.

My husband and I received a limited travel consultation, and we were both very pleased with the service. Lisa was extremely helpful in assisting us with finding a suitable pharmacy for the yellow fever vaccine, prescribing antimalarials and altitude sickness medicines. We appreciated her dedication to ensuring that we were well-informed about the necessary medications for our trip. Additionally, she was prompt in responding to our messages, which we found very reassuring.

Lisa at Odyssey Health was so easy to work with. She was able to get my fiancé and I in the same day I called to ensure we were prepared for our upcoming trip. She was personable and thorough.

Odyssey Travel Health was really easy to use and had excellent customer service. The online forms were very easy to fill out and Lisa was very knowledgeable. Even though I'm not local, she was able to send my prescriptions to a pharmacy near me. Since they're a small business, their customer service is excellent. I highly recommend Odyssey Travel Health!
