IMMUNIZATIONS

Depending on the destination the type of vaccinations and cost will vary:

When one travels outside the United States, you should be up to date on your Tetanus/Diptheria Immunization ($50) and Hepatitis A Immunization ($85). Under certain circumstances we might recommend Hepatitis B in combination with Hepatitis A in the form of a Twinrix A&B Series (a series of three or four shots @$135/shot).

If you are planning to stay in a developing country or Mexico, Central or South America,or Africa for more than several weeks or plan to be staying with the local population (ie, friends/relatives), we might consider a Typhoid Vaccination ($75).

If you plan to go to Central Africa or Eastern Europe, we might consider a Adult Polio booster  ($45). In some specific places in Central Africia, meningococcal vaccination ($130) might be needed.

Of course, if you plan on visiting places in the Yellow Fever Belt of Africa or South America, Yellow Fever Immunization ($110) will be highly recommended or required.

The needs for specialized vaccinations such as Japanese Encephalitis or Rabies should be discussed with the travel physician.

You can read more about the various vaccinations in our book, "HEALTHY TRAVEL: Don't Travel Without it" available at all bookstores or wherever books are sold.

The immunizations recommended and the costs will vary depending on your destination, medical history, immunization history, and the amount of risk you are willing to take.
