Travel Vaccination FAQ
Europe is another destination that doesn’t require much more than routine vaccination. In Eastern Europe, however, measles and polio are still prevalent. That means staying up-to-date on those vaccinations is extremely important before traveling. If you are traveling from a country that has yellow fever, you may be required to show proof of immunization. Some travelers may also be at risk for hepatitis A or B, so talk to your pharmacist and doctor about where you plan to visit.
