Available International Travel Vaccines

Are you aware of which types of vaccinations you or those traveling with you may need?

Have you scheduled a visit to your doctor or a travel medicine provider?

Ideally, set one up 4 to 6 weeks before your trip.

Most vaccines take time to become effective in your body and some vaccines must be given in a series over a period of days or sometimes weeks.

If it is less than 4 weeks before you leave, you should still see your doctor. You might still benefit from shots or medications and other information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while traveling.

Centers for Disease Control (CDC) divides vaccines for travel into three categories: routine, recommended, and required. While your doctor will tell you which vaccines you should have, it's best to be aware of them ahead of time.

Taney County Health Department now offers Yellow Fever and Injectable Typhoid vaccines. Call either location for an appointment or more information.
