Taking a trip abroad is an exciting prospect, but it’s vital to prioritize your health before departure. This includes ensuring you’re up-to-date on necessary vaccinations. ERA Hospital is committed to your well-being, and this guide provides basic information on travel vaccinations.
Why are Travel Vaccinations Important?
Travel exposes you to new environments and potential health risks. Vaccinations work by introducing a weakened or inactive form of a virus or bacteria, stimulating your body to develop immunity. This way, if you encounter the disease during your travels, your body is prepared to fight it off.
