International travel carries an increased likelihood of exposure to infections, illness or injury that a person may otherwise not be exposed to. When travelling overseas it is important to obtain vaccine recommendations from a healthcare professional trained in travel medicine to ensure optimal protection when in another country.
MVEC has recently updated its travel immunisation reference page. The updated page includes recommendations for routine vaccines, travel-specific vaccines and non-vaccine precautions. The reference also covers how and when to access preventative care before travel, and considerations for high-risk groups.
