A proof of concept of the Orlando Health Travel Medicine program and the Infectious Diseases line on orlandohealth.com and every page it links to, built from our page drafts on the service line, facility and health library templates, with placeholder photos, doctors, locations and articles. It uses no built components and implies no build date. Medical copy is a draft for clinical review.
Every page has one owner. A page another team owns appears here because this line links to it, and changes to it go to that team.
Board-certified infectious disease specialists diagnose and treat infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, and help travelers prepare for trips abroad, at offices across Central Florida and Tampa Bay.
Template module · Written copy, the hero description field (40 to 380 characters; ours, 220). The buttons are Find an Infectious Disease Doctor and Find a Location.
Keep the designer's text card and put each team's own lockup (Air Care, Winnie Palmer Hospital, Women's Institute, Orlando Health Children's) in its logo slot. Add a photo band only when every team on the page has a real photo of its own people or place.

A page shows zero, one or two buttons, each reasoned from the moment its reader is in. Leads go where a real decision exists (planning a birth, a diagnosis in pregnancy, a failed screen, a follow-up specialist, a pediatrician for a healthy newborn). A page read by a parent whose baby is in a NICU now offers the page's own help and the support every NICU family gets, never a sales button. No button anywhere asks anyone to choose a NICU.
Decided 2026-10-20
Labels, closing bands and the line page's opening are factual, with no warmth words and no severity words. A page a healthy newborn's parent reads (jaundice, a glucose check, a hearing screen) never leads with the NICU or closes on a NICU band; nursery care has its own closing.

The feature accordion is a module, or a set of them, on any page type, for what the marketing team wants to feature about how they market the line or place: a program, a class, an event, parking or language access, a community program, a timely change, a real choice such as planning a high-risk birth. Each row: a headline, a short paragraph, a 5:4 photo, zero, one or two buttons. A row can point to a page that exists; it never repeats a module on the same page.

Many of the people who come to us were sent by their own doctor, with an infection that keeps coming back, resists the usual medicines, or follows surgery, cancer treatment or a transplant. Others come on their own, getting ready for a trip abroad. Our specialists find the cause and choose the treatment that clears it.

Our physicians and nurse practitioners see you in our offices and in the hospital, and our physicians direct the Orlando Health infectious disease fellowship.

Travel abroad can bring new climates, new foods and diseases that are rare at home, including some that vaccines prevent and that are still common in other parts of the world. A little preparation before you go lets you enjoy your trip with fewer worries.
Our travel medicine team looks at where you are going and what you will be doing there, then makes sure you leave protected. The visits are held in our infectious diseases offices across Central Florida and the Tampa Bay area. Read about the travel visit and travel vaccines.
Template module · Written block (§11.7). Kevin's opening and his risk list, in two paragraphs.
Your trip and your health. We review your destinations, how long you will stay, how you will travel and what you plan to do, along with your medical history and the medicines you take.
The risks where you are going. You learn the health and safety risks for your destination, from food and water to insects, altitude and injury, and how to lower each one.
The right vaccines. We bring routine vaccines up to date and give the vaccines your destination calls for, such as typhoid, rabies, chikungunya and yellow fever, a specialty vaccine that can be hard to find.
Medicine to take with you. When your trip calls for it, you leave with prescriptions to prevent illness, such as medicine against malaria, or to treat it while you are away, such as travelers' diarrhea.
Template module · Written sections with bold lead-ins (the program template). Kevin's ten visit items, grouped into four.
A semester abroad, a summer program or a service trip often needs vaccines months ahead. Plan your visit when you plan your trip.
Children need vaccines and medicine doses sized for their age. Our pediatric infectious disease specialists see the youngest travelers.
Rural areas and long stays bring their own risks. We help your group prepare, from vaccines to safe water.

Four to six weeks before you leave is best, because some vaccines need time to work or come in more than one dose. If your trip is sooner, call anyway; we gladly see last-minute travelers.
It depends on where you are going, how long you will stay and what you will do there. Your visit starts with your itinerary and ends with a plan made for your trip.
Yes. Yellow fever vaccine is a specialty vaccine that can be hard to find, and some countries require proof of it to enter. Call to book, and ask which office has it in stock.

Planning a trip to see family in West Africa, serve on a mission in Haiti or study for a semester in India brings a long list of things to arrange. If malaria is common where you are going, put prevention near the top of that list. Malaria is serious, and it is largely preventable with the right medicine and a few daily habits.
Malaria is an infection of the blood caused by a tiny parasite. It spreads through the bite of an infected mosquito and is common across much of Africa and in parts of Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and the South Pacific. About 2,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with malaria each year, nearly all of them after travel.
Malaria can be prevented, and when it is found early it can be cured. Two steps protect you most: taking prescription preventive medicine exactly as directed, and getting tested quickly for any fever during your trip or in the year after you come home.
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites. After an infected mosquito bites, the parasites multiply in the liver, then infect red blood cells. Each time a wave of infected cells bursts, it brings fever, chills and sweats that can come and go.
Plasmodium falciparum, the most common type in Africa, causes most severe illness and can turn dangerous quickly. Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale can rest in the liver for months and then cause a relapse long after the trip. With prompt diagnosis and treatment, most people recover completely.
Symptoms usually begin one to four weeks after the bite, and some types appear months after you come home. Common symptoms include:
Early malaria can feel like the flu. Any fever during your trip or in the year after you return from a malaria area is an emergency until a malaria test says otherwise, and occasionally illness begins even later. Most cases appear in the first three months. Tell the staff where you traveled, even if you took preventive medicine.
Call rather than driving; care begins when paramedics arrive.
If you get sick during your trip, see a doctor there that day.
When you cannot tell which list you are in, call and describe what is happening; if nobody can be reached and it looks like the first list, go.
Anopheles mosquitoes spread the parasite, picking it up from an infected person and passing it on with later bites. They bite mainly between dusk and dawn.
Malaria is found in large parts of Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Central and South America, parts of the Caribbean including Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the South Pacific and parts of the Middle East. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest risk. Risk varies within a country and by season, so advice depends on your exact itinerary.
Pregnant women, young children, older adults, people without a spleen and people with a weakened immune system are more likely to become severely ill.
Most malaria in travelers can be prevented with two steps used together.
The choice of preventive medicine depends on your destination, since some regions have parasites that resist certain medicines, and on your health, other medicines, age and pregnancy. Options include atovaquone-proguanil, doxycycline, mefloquine, tafenoquine, primaquine and, where it still works, chloroquine. Primaquine and tafenoquine need a G6PD blood test first.
Every schedule starts before you arrive, continues through your trip and keeps going after you leave, for one to four weeks depending on the medicine. Buy your medicine in the United States, since fake antimalarial medicines are sold in some countries.
A travel medicine consultation 4 to 6 weeks before departure leaves time to start on schedule, and last-minute travelers can still be helped.
There is no malaria vaccine available for travelers in the United States. Your visit is still a good time to get travel vaccines for other diseases on your route, such as typhoid and yellow fever.
If you are pregnant, talk with your doctor before booking a trip to a malaria area, since malaria is more dangerous in pregnancy. Children need protection too, with doses set by weight.
Malaria is diagnosed with a blood test. Tell the doctor every country you visited in the past year and whether you took preventive medicine.
Parasites can be too few to see at first, so when malaria is still suspected after a negative smear, the smear is repeated every 12 to 24 hours for a total of three tests. Other blood tests look for signs of severe illness.
Malaria is curable, and treatment works best when it starts early. The plan depends on the type of parasite, how sick you are, where you were infected and whether you are pregnant.
Malaria found before it turns severe is treated with a course of pills, such as artemether-lumefantrine or atovaquone-proguanil. People with falciparum malaria are usually admitted to the hospital at first so the care team can watch the infection clear. For vivax and ovale malaria, a second medicine, primaquine or tafenoquine, clears the parasites resting in the liver and prevents relapse.
Severe malaria is treated in the hospital, often in intensive care, with artesunate given through a vein, followed by a full course of pills.
Finish every dose and keep your follow-up visits. Your plan is made with your care team.
Talk with your care team as soon as you book travel to a malaria area, and bring your itinerary and medicine list. Call if side effects make it hard to keep taking your preventive medicine or if you missed doses. In the year after your trip, mention your travel at every medical visit.
Not through everyday contact. Malaria spreads through mosquito bites, and only rarely through blood or from a mother to her baby.
Yes. Any partial protection fades after living away, and travelers visiting family are among those most often diagnosed.
It is uncommon, and more likely if doses were missed. Any fever after your trip needs a malaria test.
Not in the United States. Travelers rely on preventive medicine and mosquito bite protection together.
Vivax and ovale malaria can relapse from parasites resting in the liver. A second medicine prevents that.
Several Orlando Health teams share malaria prevention and care.
Children traveling abroad can also be seen by pediatric infectious disease specialists at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children.

You have booked the flights, planned the days and saved for the trip. Travelers' diarrhea is the illness most likely to interrupt a trip abroad, and it is also one of the most preventable and most treatable.
Travelers' diarrhea is loose, watery stools that start during international travel or soon after you return, often with cramps, an urgent need to go and sometimes nausea or a fever. It comes from germs, most often bacteria, in food or water that has been contaminated. Depending on where you go and when, 30 to 70 percent of travelers get it over a two-week trip.
The good news is that most cases are mild and clear up within a few days. Careful choices about food and water lower the risk, fluids keep you safe while it passes, and a plan from your travel medicine consultation means you leave with medicine to treat it if it strikes. This page explains the symptoms, the causes, how to prevent it and how it is treated.
Travelers' diarrhea is a gut infection picked up while traveling, most often in a country where water treatment and food handling differ from home. Doctors describe it by how much it affects you:
Without treatment, most cases caused by bacteria last three to seven days, and cases caused by viruses often pass in two or three. Having had it before gives no protection.
Symptoms usually start suddenly, within hours to a few days of eating or drinking something contaminated:
When a parasite is the cause, symptoms start more slowly, often one to two weeks after exposure, and can last for weeks.
Abroad, use the local emergency number or go to the nearest hospital.
Abroad, a local clinic or your travel insurance help line can point you to care. When you cannot tell which list you are in, call and describe what is happening; if nobody can be reached and it looks like the first list, go.
Travelers' diarrhea spreads through food or water contaminated with stool: tap water and ice, raw vegetables, unpeeled fruit, undercooked meat and seafood, and food left out at room temperature.
Destination matters most. The risk is highest in much of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Mexico, and Central and South America. Other factors that raise the chance of getting it, or of getting sicker:
A few habits lower your risk:
Bismuth subsalicylate, found in some stomach remedies, can lower the risk by about half. It is unsuitable for children under 12, during pregnancy, with an aspirin allergy or with blood thinners, so ask at your visit whether it fits you. A daily antibiotic to prevent diarrhea is not recommended for most travelers.
No vaccine prevents travelers' diarrhea itself. Travel vaccines for typhoid and hepatitis A protect against two other serious illnesses spread through food and water.
Most travelers' diarrhea is recognized from the symptoms and the trip, and it clears without testing. When the illness is severe, bloody or long-lasting, or starts after you return:
Treatment depends on how much the illness affects you; plan it at your travel visit.
Replacing lost fluids comes first for everyone, and matters most for children, older adults and anyone with a long-term illness. Oral rehydration salts, sold in packets, mix with a liter of safe water; for mild cases, any safe drink helps.
At your travel medicine consultation, we can prescribe a standby antibiotic to pack, with clear instructions on when to start it.
Children lose fluid faster than adults, so start oral rehydration early and keep breastfeeding. Loperamide is never given to children under 2, is rarely used under 6, and in older children is used only on a doctor's advice and for a day or two at most. When a child needs an antibiotic, azithromycin dosed by weight is usually the choice. During pregnancy, fluids come first, azithromycin can be used when an antibiotic is needed, and water should be boiled, bottled or filtered rather than treated with iodine tablets, which are not used in pregnancy.
Book your travel visit 4 to 6 weeks before you leave, so there is time for vaccines and prescriptions; last-minute travelers are welcome too. After the trip, tell your doctor about diarrhea that lasts two weeks or longer, belly symptoms that keep returning or weight loss you cannot explain, and say where you traveled.
Usually only when the diarrhea is moderate or severe, meaning it disrupts your plans or comes with fever or blood. For mild cases, fluids and loperamide are often enough. Follow the plan from your travel visit.
Only when you know it was made from safe water. Alcohol in a drink does not kill germs in the ice, so ask for drinks without it.
The germs can spread from person to person, especially within a family or group. Handwashing after the bathroom and before handling food protects the people you travel with.
Yes, as you feel able. Keep drinking fluids and start with simple foods. Breastfed babies should keep nursing.
Some infections, especially from parasites, show up days or weeks later. See your doctor, say where you traveled, and ask whether a stool test makes sense.

Central Florida lies close to sea level, so a ski week in Colorado, a visit to Cusco or a trek in Nepal asks your body to adjust to air it has never had to work with. A pounding headache and a queasy stomach on the first night are common, and they leave travelers wondering whether to keep going.
Altitude sickness is the illness that can come with that change. As you go higher, each breath brings in less oxygen, and some bodies adjust more slowly than the climb. Most cases are mild and pass in a day or two with rest. A small number become serious, with fluid building up in the brain or the lungs, and those call for going down at once and emergency care.
Altitude sickness can also largely be prevented. A planned ascent, rest days and, for many travelers, a prescription medicine started before the trip all lower the risk. This page explains the symptoms, the risks, prevention and what to do if it starts, and how a travel medicine consultation helps you plan.
Altitude sickness happens when you go up faster than your body can adjust. Higher up, each breath brings in less oxygen, and over several days the body adapts by breathing faster and deeper. This adjustment is called acclimatization, and symptoms appear when the climb outpaces it.
Risk begins for most people who sleep at about 8,000 feet (2,450 meters) or higher. Several Colorado ski towns, Cusco in Peru, La Paz in Bolivia, Quito in Ecuador, and treks in the Himalayas and on Kilimanjaro all reach that height.
Altitude illness takes three forms:
Symptoms usually start 2 to 12 hours after you reach a new height and often ease within one to three days if you stop going higher. Acute mountain sickness brings:
Getting winded with effort is normal at altitude; breathlessness while resting is a warning sign.
Start down right away with a companion, without waiting for help to arrive.
When you cannot tell which list you are in, treat it as the first list and go down.
Altitude sickness comes from the drop in oxygen at high elevation combined with a climb faster than the body can adapt. How strongly a person reacts varies, and no test predicts who will get sick. The pace of the climb is what most often sets it off: flying straight into a high city, or raising the height where you sleep too quickly. Where you sleep matters more than how high you hike during the day.
Fit and unfit travelers face the same risk, and children are as likely as adults to get it.
If you have a heart or lung condition such as heart failure, angina, COPD, hard-to-control asthma or pulmonary hypertension, or you have had a heart attack or stroke in the last three months, talk with your specialist before booking a high-altitude trip. Pregnant travelers are generally advised to sleep no higher than 10,000 feet, after checking with their prenatal care provider.
Giving your body time is the most effective prevention.
A prescription medicine called acetazolamide speeds the body's adjustment and lowers the chance of altitude sickness. It is usually started the day before the climb and taken through the first days at altitude. Tingling fingers and toes and urinating more often are common side effects. Tell your doctor about any sulfa drug allergy. A travel medicine consultation is the time to decide whether it fits your trip and your health.
Acute mountain sickness is recognized by its symptoms and their timing, beginning within hours to a few days of reaching a new height. A guide or doctor may also check your oxygen level with a fingertip clip.
In a clinic or hospital, a doctor listens to your lungs for crackling sounds that can mean fluid, and may order a chest X-ray, blood tests, an electrocardiogram (ECG) or a brain CT scan to rule out the serious forms and other causes.
Treatment depends on which form you have and how severe it is.
For mild acute mountain sickness, stop climbing and rest at the same altitude until the symptoms are gone. Never go higher to sleep while you have symptoms, however mild. If they get worse despite rest, go down; dropping about 1,000 feet often helps quickly. For HACE or HAPE, going down is urgent and is the most important treatment.
Supplemental oxygen eases symptoms quickly. Where going down is impossible, a portable pressure bag can mimic a lower altitude for a few hours.
Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can ease an altitude headache, and acetazolamide can treat mild cases. Dexamethasone, a steroid, treats more severe cases and HACE, and nifedipine treats HAPE when oxygen is unavailable. These medicines work alongside going lower and oxygen, which remain the main treatment.
Your plan is your own, made with the doctor caring for you.
Book a travel visit 4 to 6 weeks before a trip above 8,000 feet, especially if you have had altitude sickness before, have a heart or lung condition, or are pregnant. Last-minute travelers are welcome too. Bring your itinerary with the heights where you will sleep and your list of medicines. After you come home, tell your doctor about a cough or breathlessness that has not cleared.
It can be. Several Colorado ski towns lie above 8,000 feet, where about one in four visitors has some symptoms.
Yes. Acetazolamide, started the day before you go up, lowers the chance of altitude sickness. Your doctor decides whether it fits your itinerary and your health.
Fitness does not change the risk. A slower ascent is what helps.
Yes, children are as likely as adults to get it, and young children may show it as fussiness, poor eating or poor sleep. Ask about medicine and pacing for children at a travel visit.
It is more likely on a similar trip. A slower plan and preventive medicine lower that chance.
On a trip, the nearest clinic or emergency department treats altitude sickness. Preparing for it starts before you leave.
A travel visit plans your climb and can prescribe medicine that helps your body adjust to altitude.

If you are planning a trip outside the United States, you may be wondering which shots you need, whether the water is safe to drink, or what to do if you get sick far from home. Diseases that are rare in the United States, such as typhoid, yellow fever and malaria, are still common in many parts of the world, and food, water, insects, altitude and heat bring risks of their own.
The visit suits every kind of traveler: a student heading out for a semester abroad or a school program, a parent getting children ready for a family trip, a missionary or volunteer, someone traveling for work, and anyone going back to visit family in another country. People who travel to see friends and relatives are among those most likely to get sick abroad, because they often stay longer and live and eat as local families do.
At Orlando Health, travel consultations take place in our infectious diseases offices. Booking 4 to 6 weeks before you leave gives vaccines time to work and leaves room for any that need more than one dose, and last-minute travelers are welcome too.
A travel medicine consultation is an appointment with a clinician who specializes in the health risks of international travel. It is a planning visit. You talk through your trip and your health, and you leave with protection matched to where you are going. Most of the visit is conversation, followed by any vaccines you need that day.
The advice is personal. Two people flying to the same country can need different protection, depending on whether they stay in a city or a rural village, travel in the rainy season, or hike in the mountains. So the visit starts with your itinerary, and every recommendation follows from it.

Anyone leaving the country can benefit from a consultation. It is especially helpful if you are:
[Brief description of the resource]
[Resource Download/Access][Optional Secondary CTA]Your clinician reviews your itinerary and your health, then explains the risks at each stop and recommends vaccines and medicines for your trip. You decide on the plan together. Vaccines you choose are given at the visit, and you leave with your prescriptions. After a shot, you may be asked to stay seated for about 15 minutes, because some people feel lightheaded after a vaccine.
A sore arm, a mild fever or tiredness for a day or two after vaccines is common. If a vaccine needs more doses, you schedule them before you leave. Fill your prescriptions early and follow the timing you were given, since every malaria medicine starts before you travel, some of them two weeks before. Keep your vaccine record with your passport.
Follow your plan while you are away, and keep your medicines in the bag you keep with you. If you get sick abroad, seek care at a reputable clinic or hospital. After you come home, tell any doctor you see where you traveled, because some travel illnesses appear weeks or months later. Malaria can begin a year or more after a trip.
Call 911 for trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or hives spreading across your body after a vaccine, and for chest pain, confusion, a seizure or fainting. A fever during a trip to a country where malaria is common, or in the year after you come home, is an emergency: go to the emergency department the same day without waiting for an appointment, say where you traveled and ask to be tested for malaria, even if you took your preventive medicine. Call your care team the same day for diarrhea that lasts more than three days or has blood in it, or redness and swelling at a shot site that keeps growing after two days.
The consultation itself is a conversation and a plan. The vaccines and medicines it leads to have side effects, usually mild:
Many illnesses spread by mosquitoes, food and water have no vaccine, so insect protection and careful eating and drinking remain part of every plan.
You leave the visit with:
Preparation lowers the chance of getting sick abroad and helps you act quickly if you do.
Often, yes. Your risk depends more on where you go than on how long you stay, and a cruise can stop in several countries in one week. When you book, mention every port and stop so the team can plan for each.
Often, yes. Some childhood vaccines can be given earlier than usual before international travel. For example, babies 6 to 11 months old can get an early measles, mumps and rubella dose before a trip.
Coverage for travel visits and travel vaccines varies by plan. Our team can tell you what to expect when you book.
Many vaccines are safe during pregnancy, and some live vaccines are usually postponed. Your clinician weighs the risks at your destination for each one and may suggest talking with your obstetric care team about timing.
Some protection lasts for years. One dose of yellow fever vaccine protects most people for life, and a completed hepatitis A series lasts a long time. A new destination brings new risks, though, so a visit before each trip to a new region is a good habit.
Travel medicine consultations are given through the Orlando Health Travel Medicine program, in infectious diseases offices in Central Florida. To book, call (407) 423-1039.

A page shows zero, one or two buttons, each reasoned from the moment its reader is in. Leads go where a real decision exists (planning a birth, a diagnosis in pregnancy, a failed screen, a follow-up specialist, a pediatrician for a healthy newborn). A page read by a parent whose baby is in a NICU now offers the page's own help and the support every NICU family gets, never a sales button. No button anywhere asks anyone to choose a NICU.

Several travel vaccines need more than one dose or time to build protection, so the best time for a visit is four to six weeks before you leave. If your departure is sooner, book the visit anyway: many vaccines still protect well when given close to the trip.
Travel vaccines fall into two groups. Routine vaccines, such as measles, tetanus and flu, are the ones recommended at home, brought up to date because these illnesses are more common in many parts of the world. Destination vaccines, such as typhoid, yellow fever, chikungunya and rabies, are matched to where you are going, how long you will stay and what you will do there. Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination at the border.
Your list comes out of a travel medicine consultation, where a specialist reviews your itinerary and your health and recommends what fits. Students, parents traveling with children, missionaries, business travelers and people visiting family overseas all start the same way. Medicine to prevent malaria and to treat travelers' diarrhea, with food, water and insect precautions, covers the risks no vaccine reaches.
A vaccine teaches your immune system to recognize a germ before you meet it, so your body can respond quickly if you are exposed on your trip. Most travel vaccines are made from an inactivated germ or a piece of one. A few are live vaccines, made from a weakened form of the germ, and those are the ones some people need to avoid.
Protection builds over days to weeks. Vaccines work best alongside careful food and water choices: the typhoid vaccines protect roughly half to eight in ten people.
By goal: to keep you healthy on your trip, to meet the entry rules of the countries you visit, and to keep you from bringing an illness home.
Malaria is the one to plan for separately. No malaria vaccine is available to travelers from the United States, so it is prevented with medicine taken before, during and after the trip, together with steps to avoid mosquito bites.
Plan four to six weeks ahead. Some vaccines need a series, and some must be spaced apart from each other. Last-minute travelers are welcome too.
Tell your care team if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy, or if your immune system is weakened by an illness, cancer treatment, an organ transplant or a medicine. Your care team will choose the protection that suits you.
Cost and coverage vary by vaccine and by plan, so ask about yours when you book.
[Brief description of the resource]
[Resource Download/Access][Optional Secondary CTA]The visit. Several vaccines can usually be given at the same visit. The typhoid capsules are taken at home and kept in the refrigerator.
Your records. You leave with a record of every vaccine given. For yellow fever, you receive the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, often called the yellow card. It becomes valid 10 days after the vaccine and lasts for life. Keep it with your passport, ready to show at the border.
After you come home. A fever during a trip to a country where malaria is common, or in the year after you come home, is an emergency: go to the emergency department the same day without waiting for an appointment, say where you traveled and ask to be tested for malaria, even if you took your preventive medicine.
Most side effects are mild and pass in a day or two: a sore, red or swollen arm, a low fever, a headache, tiredness or aching muscles. The typhoid capsules can upset the stomach. After a yellow fever vaccine, about one person in four has mild aches, a headache or a low fever that start a few days later and can last 5 to 10 days.
Serious reactions are rare. A severe allergic reaction can happen with any vaccine, usually within minutes to hours. Trouble breathing or swelling of the face or throat after a vaccine is a 911 call.
Yellow fever vaccine has rare serious reactions, more often after a first dose and in people 60 and older, so your care team weighs your age and health first. If you cannot receive it for medical reasons, your care team can provide a signed waiver letter, though not every country accepts one.
Live vaccines, such as yellow fever, measles and the typhoid capsules, are generally avoided during pregnancy and with a weakened immune system. Where a live vaccine does not suit you, your care team recommends another way to stay protected.
Four to six weeks before you leave. Some vaccines have their own deadline: the typhoid shot at least two weeks before travel, and the yellow fever certificate valid 10 days after the shot.
Yes. Many vaccines still help close to departure, and your care team will choose what can protect you in the time you have.
Not for travelers from the United States. Malaria is prevented with medicine taken before, during and after your trip, plus protection from mosquito bites, and your care team can prescribe it at the same visit.
Yes, with age limits that vary: hepatitis A from 6 months for a travel dose (the series itself starts at 1), the typhoid shot from age 2, and yellow fever from 9 months. Babies 6 to 11 months old can get an early measles dose before international travel.
Often not. Many travel vaccines last for years, and one yellow fever dose protects most people for life. Some need a booster if you keep traveling, so bring your records to each visit.
