Video Description:Before you travel to far off lands, you may need to start with a shot--of the vaccine, not the alcohol, variety! Here, we'll look at vaccination requirements, what you can expect from the shots and how to ensure your vacation goes off without a hitch.
Transcript:Vaccinations are required for travelers to many areas of the world, so if you want to pass customs, find out about the shots you'll need! It's best to talk to your doctor about vaccines at least six weeks before you depart for your destination. That's because it may take several weeks for certain immunities to develop, and you might need more than one dose. Visit the web sites of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization for information. Immunization laws vary not only from country to country, but also from city to city in certain underdeveloped countries. And don't forget to call your health insurance provider ahead of time to find out if your policy covers vaccinations. While shots aren't always fun, neither is getting stopped before your trip starts! So talk to your doctor about vaccinations.
