Travel Vaccines

In addition to the vaccines in the standard immunization schedule, children and adults often need a few other vaccines when traveling out of the country, including:


 * typhoid vaccine
 * yellow fever vaccine
 * Japanese encephalitis vaccine
 * Meningococcal disease
 * rabies vaccine
 * an early MMR vaccine - a single dose as early as 6 months of age, while everyone over 12 months of age should have two doses of MMR separated by at least 28 days.
