Hello

Sorry if this has been covered. I did not see it listed here. Did anyone get the various recommend vaccinations before visiting any of the foreign countries from the US? What about the malaria prevention pills? What about after a move to live there? Are annual vaccinations suggested?

Thanks for any help

Hi Trainer1,

I guess it depends where you're going to

Pretty much all the same for most tropical countries. Hepatitis A and B, and Typhoid vaccinations. Rabies vaccination recommended if will be around animals. Malaria preventative pills. Same recommendations for Central America and Asian countries like Philippines. Wondered if most people visiting or moving to those locations get them like the health departments recommend.

Guess no one can answer the question. Thanks anyway.
