Why travel vaccines matter

International travel exposes you to different food, water, insect-borne, and animal-related infections. Some vaccines are required for entry (like Yellow Fever or Meningitis ACWY), while others are strongly recommended for your safety (like Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Rabies).

Even if you’re careful with food and water, or plan to stick to city hotels, risks remain. Vaccines give you peace of mind and make travel insurance claims smoother if you need medical help abroad.
