Visas and Vaccination Requirements: Are You Prepared?
May 30th, 2014
Did you know that some vaccinations are required for certain destinations and travel visas? Consult with a travel clinic to make sure you're prepared!
Vaccination Requirements for Travel
The most commonly required vaccination is for yellow fever. Yellow fever is caused by a virus spread by mosquitoes; it kills about 30,000 people each year.
Because it has the potential to cause serious and deadly epidemics, some countries require travelers to present proof that they have been vaccinated for the disease, either when they arrive or with their visa application. No vaccine means you get turned around at the airport or you don't get your visa.
Depending on your destination and your travel history, other vaccinations may be required as well.
