Travel Vaccine Q & A

What kinds of vaccines are required for travel?

Vaccine requirements depend on your travel destination. Some countries require proof of specific vaccinations before entry, while others recommend vaccines to protect travelers from diseases common in that region. Travelers to tropical, subtropical, and developing countries are often at higher risk for travel-related illnesses.

At The New York Center for Travel and Tropical Medicine, we offer a comprehensive range of travel vaccines, including:

  • Yellow fever (required for certain African and South American countries)

  • Typhoid

  • Hepatitis A and B

  • Japanese encephalitis

  • Rabies and cholera

Our clinic is authorized by the World Health Organization (WHO) to issue and validate International Certificates of Vaccination (ICV). During your pre-travel consultation, we review:

  • Your itinerary and travel destinations

  • The health risks associated with each country or region

  • Your personal health history and pre-existing conditions

This ensures a personalized travel vaccine plan tailored to your needs.

 

When should I be vaccinated?

Some vaccines require multiple doses or several weeks to become effective, so it’s best to schedule your travel consultation as soon as your travel plans are confirmed, ideally 4–6 weeks before departure. This allows time for:

  • Required and recommended vaccines for international travel

  • Malaria prophylaxis and other preventive medications if traveling to endemic regions

  • Personalized travel health advice

Planning ahead ensures full protection and peace of mind as you travel abroad.

 

Will my insurance cover the costs of my immunizations?

We do not accept insurance at our office; however, you may be able to submit your itemized receipt to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, depending on your plan and benefits. Coverage varies by insurance provider, so we recommend contacting your insurer directly to confirm which travel vaccines are eligible. After your visit, we provide a detailed receipt to make the reimbursement process easier.
