Travel Vaccine Information
Globalization facilitates the spread of disease and increases the number of travelers who will be exposed to a different health environment. Major content areas of travel medicine include the global epidemiology of health risks to the traveler, vaccinology, malaria prevention, and pre-travel counseling designed to maintain the health of the approximately 600 million international travelers. It has been estimated that about 80 million travelers go annually from developed to developing countries.
Travel medicine includes pre-travel consultation and evaluation, contingency planning during travel, and post-travel follow-up and care. Information is provided by the WHO that addresses health issues for travelers for each country as well as the specific health risks of air travel itself. Also, the CDC publishes valuable and up-to-date information. Key areas to consider are vaccination and the six I’s:
1. Insects: repellents, nets, medication
2. Ingestions: safety of water, food
3. Indiscretion: HIV, sexually transmitted disease
4. Injuries: accident avoidance, personal safety
5. Immersion: schistosomiasis
6. Insurance: coverage and services during travel, access to care
