Why Travel Health Matters
International travel exposes you to unfamiliar diseases, foodborne illnesses, and climate-related risks. Without proper precautions, a dream vacation can turn into a health crisis.
Required vaccines (like yellow fever) vary by country, while others (hepatitis A/B, typhoid) are strongly recommended. Some destinations also carry malaria or traveler’s diarrhea risks.
