Don't Forget These Vaccines When You Travel

Planning an international winter getaway know which shots—from measles to yellow fever—you may need to protect yourself., sharing is nice.

We respect your privacy . All email addresses you provide will be used just for sending this story.

If you're planning a winter trip to another country, you may be preoccupied with booking airfare and finding lodging, but certain destinations require an extra step of planning: travel vaccines.

You might be tempted to skip the extra doctor's visit, but don't. Last year saw a record number of measles cases in Europe, and the highly contagious illness has continued to spread across the continent throughout 2019. Yellow fever remains a significant concern in South America, and hepatitis A has doctors everywhere—including in the U.S.—on alert. 

You can protect yourself from all three of these illnesses (and more) if you get your shots in time. Here's a quick rundown on the travel vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . 

According to the CDC , most cases of measles in the U.S. result from international travel, when unvaccinated Americans become infected during visits to other countries, then carry the disease back home.

Measles, one of the most contagious of all infectious diseases, is spread through the cough or sneeze of an infected person. Symptoms include rash, high fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes. In rare cases, the disease can cause brain swelling and be fatal.

Measles outbreaks have become increasingly common in the past couple of years in the U.S. and other countries.

Europe is of particular concern for travelers. As CDC researchers noted in a  report published in Pediatrics  earlier this year, Europe had a record number of cases—more than 41,000, including 37 deaths—between January and June 2018. According to the Pediatrics report, the Ukraine reported the largest number of cases, but France, Georgia, Greece, Italy, Serbia, and the Russian Federation also had a high number. 

But because Europe, a popular travel destination, isn't one that visitors usually think of as having significant risks of infectious disease, they may not consider the need for vaccinations.

In fact, a recent study in JAMA Pediatrics found that not all children are adequately vaccinated against measles before international travel. (The CDC has special recommendations for measles vaccinations for children going overseas.)

In this study, only about 41 percent of infants and preschool-age children who were eligible for pre-travel measles vaccination actually received it. 

And  a study by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, published in 2017 in the Annals of Internal Medicine, found that more than half of all U.S. travelers—not just young kids—who were eligible for the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine weren't getting it before leaving the country. 

The CDC advises anyone who isn't protected against measles, either through vaccination or past infection, to get vaccinated before traveling anywhere overseas.

You'll need to see your doctor at least four to six weeks before you leave. That's because it may take that much time to complete a full course of the vaccine and to give your body time to build up immunity in response to the shot. See the CDC's recommendations for travelers of different ages  and Consumer Reports' coverage of when a measles booster is warranted . 

Other Routine Shots

Before any international trip, you should make sure you're up to date on all of your routine vaccines, not only  measles-mumps-rubella (MMR)  but also diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP), varicella (chickenpox), polio, and your yearly flu shot.

Some of these diseases are quite rare in the U.S., thanks to good vaccine coverage of children here. But the CDC says these same diseases can be much more common in other countries, including areas where you wouldn't usually worry about travel-related illnesses. Being current with your routine vaccines will give you the best protection.

Yellow Fever

Yellow fever is spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito (the same one that spreads  Zika , dengue, and chikungunya). Although the virus was eradicated from much of the world in the mid-1900s, it has re-emerged in recent years in parts of Africa and South America, including, most recently, Brazil .

Brazil has been suffering through a yellow fever outbreak that's one of the largest the world has seen in decades.

"Since early 2018, a number of unvaccinated travelers to Brazil contracted yellow fever," the CDC notes. "Several have died."

According to the  CDC , the vaccine that's typically used to prevent the yellow fever virus, known as YF-Vax, is currently unavailable due to production delays . To cover the shortage, the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration have turned to a different yellow fever vaccine known as Stamaril.

This other shot is already approved in more than 70 other countries around the world and is thought to be just as safe and effective as the YF-Vax shot. It's been okayed by the FDA under a special program , but its availability in the U.S. is limited. 

If you're traveling to  a country where yellow fever is spreading  or one that requires all visitors to have a yellow fever shot, be sure to plan ahead. Unlike other travel shots, the yellow fever vaccine is available only at  specially designated clinics . Because of the shortage, there will be far fewer clinics than usual.

You definitely don't want to skip this shot. Yellow fever is a serious disease. The CDC estimates that it can be fatal in 15 to 20 percent of cases. Find out where the nearest clinic is ( you can search online here ) and make sure you budget enough time to go.

You should also be sure to apply plenty of insect repellent , which can help protect you from the mosquitoes that spread yellow fever, Zika, and other diseases .

Hepatitis A and B

Hepatitis A is a virus that causes liver disease. It spreads through contaminated food and through physical contact with an infected person, especially if that person doesn't wash his or her hands properly after using the bathroom. It's common among people who travel to developing countries, particularly those who visit rural areas, though it can also be spread in more modern tourist accommodations.

The vaccine to prevent this virus—given in two doses, six months apart—is 100 percent effective, according to the CDC. 

Hepatitis B is a different but related virus that passes through blood, semen, and other body fluids. It can disappear after just a few weeks or it can linger for a lifetime, potentially causing liver disease and cancer.

This virus occurs in nearly every part of the world, but it's most common in Asia, Africa, South America, and the Caribbean. Travel-related cases are generally rare but can result from unprotected sex, intravenous drug use, and blood transfusions.

The vaccine for hepatitis B is more than 90 percent effective. It's usually given in three doses spread across six months, but ask your doctor for an accelerated schedule if your travel plans require it. 

Typhoid fever is a serious disease caused by the bacteria salmonella typhi and is spread through contaminated food and water. In rare cases, it can be fatal. Typhoid is rare in developed countries like the U.S. but common in most of the rest of the world, especially South Asia. The U.S. sees about 300 travel-related cases of typhoid fever every year. 

The vaccine for typhoid fever is available as a pill and an injectable. The pill contains live but weakened bacteria and is given in four doses: One capsule is taken every other day for a week. The injectable contains killed bacteria and is given in one dose. Get the injectable at least two weeks before traveling and complete the oral vaccine at least 10 days before. 

The CDC concedes that the typhoid vaccine in any form is only about 50 to 80 percent effective. You should still get it before traveling to an endemic region. But you should also take basic precautions with the food you eat while traveling, sticking to bottled water in places where the tap water is questionable, for example.

Rabies is a disease caused by a virus that spreads through the saliva of infected animals. The most common sources of human infection are licks, bites, and scratches from infected dogs. But bats, foxes, raccoons, and mongooses have also been known to pass the disease to humans. Prevention of this disease is especially important because once contracted, it's almost always fatal. 

Rabies is found all over the world except in Antarctica. In most developed countries, including the U.S., the risk of human infection is low because the virus is rare in domestic animals. But in much of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, rabies in dogs is still a problem. 

If you're traveling to a country where the virus is prevalent in dogs, or if your itinerary will bring you into contact with wild animals like bats and other carnivores, you should consider getting a rabies shot before you travel. It's given in three doses over three weeks. 

It's important to note that even if you've had your rabies shots, you should still seek immediate medical treatment if you're bitten or scratched by an animal while traveling. You can't be too careful when it comes to rabies prevention. 

There's no vaccine available against malaria, but it's still crucial to plan ahead if you're going to a region where malaria is common. You can take prophylactic medications that will reduce your risk of developing malaria if you're bitten by an infected mosquito.

The recommendations vary depending on what country you're visiting, what time of year you're going, and whether the mosquitoes in your destination have developed resistance to certain antimalarial drugs.

The CDC offers this chart of every country and specific recommendations for preventing malaria in different destinations.

How to get a COVID-19 vaccine in the Greater Toronto Area — if you qualify

Cbc toronto will be updating this story as the vaccine campaigns open up to more people.

Social Sharing

Those aged 50 and up across Ontario now qualify to book a vaccine through the provincial booking system, in addition to those with high-risk health conditions and a number of employees who cannot work from home.

The newly eligible workers include those in the education, child care, and the food and manufacturing sectors.

People aged 18 and up can book vaccine appointments if they live in one of 144 provincially-designated hot-spot postal codes as of this week.

The province says this expansion of eligibility will support the government's strategy of allocating 50 per cent of vaccine doses to hot spots during the weeks of May 3 and May 10. 

Ontario is also now on track to administer first doses of COVID-19 vaccines to 65 per cent of adults by the end of the month, provincial health officials said Wednesday .

• Ontario records 3,436 new COVID-19 cases, vaccine appointments open to 18+ in hot spots

In parts of the GTA hit hardest by the third wave, anyone 18-plus is now eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, though accessing it is more complex than simply booking a shot at a mass vaccination site. 

So, how do you know if you qualify for a vaccine and how do you go about getting one?

Here are the key factors that determine your eligibility

How old are you? If you're 50 and over living anywhere, or 18-plus living in a hot spot, you can get vaccinated at a mass vaccination clinics, hospital clinics, mobile clinics (if they are available in your region) and some primary care settings (such as your doctor's office). 

If you're under 50 and not in a hot spot or at high risk of contracting COVID-19 — let's say you're in your 20s or 30s, healthy and able to work from home — you might need to keep waiting.

Are you pregnant? If so, you are considered a top priority for vaccination in Ontario. You can book a shot through the provincial call centre. If your local health unit is not using the provincial booking system, call the unit directly to set up an appointment.

Where do you live? In some hot-spot areas of the GTA where there have been a large number of COVID-19 cases, those aged 18 and up are able to get a vaccine. This program is set to expand to more cities in the near future.

What kind of work do you do? Those who cannot work from home are now eligible to get the shot, including those in education, workers responding to critical events, enforcement, inspection and compliance roles, child care and the food and manufacturing sectors. The list is set to expand in the week of May 10 to include more workers. 

The province also says it is launching mobile vaccination units to help get vaccines to workers at small and medium-sized workplaces who can't work from home in Peel, Toronto and York.

Do you have an underlying health condition? Right now, the province is offering first shots to those with specific conditions. If that's you, you can pre-register for a shot.

Are you Indigenous? All Indigenous adults qualify to get a vaccine. 

Remember, you should only be vaccinated in the city or region you live in  — the overarching goal is still to limit the potential spread of COVID-19, which means staying close to home as much as possible. Experts warn we are in a third wave of the pandemic driven by coronavirus variants that are more transmissible than the original strain of the virus.

One more disclaimer: the following guide is intended for the general public, and doesn't capture those who will be vaccinated by specialized teams — for example, mobile teams distributing vaccines in homeless shelters or other congregate settings.

Now that's clear, here's where you should book a vaccination spot if you qualify.

Here's the province's centralized COVID-19 booking site . There's also a phone line for those who need it: 1-888-999-6488.

If you are calling, make sure you know if you qualify. There has been confusion.

Toronto — mass vaccination sites open for 18-plus in hot spots

Need travel vaccines? Plan ahead.

International travel increases your chances of getting and spreading diseases that are rare or not found in United States. Find out which travel vaccines you may need to help you stay healthy on your trip.

Before Travel

Make sure you are up-to-date on all of your routine vaccines . Routine vaccinations protect you from infectious diseases such as measles that can spread quickly in groups of unvaccinated people. Many diseases prevented by routine vaccination are not common in the United States but are still common in other countries.

Check CDC’s destination pages for travel health information . Check CDC’s webpage for your destination to see what vaccines or medicines you may need and what diseases or health risks are a concern at your destination.

Make an appointment with your healthcare provider or a travel health specialist  that takes place at least one month before you leave. They can help you get destination-specific vaccines, medicines, and information. Discussing your health concerns, itinerary, and planned activities with your provider allows them to give more specific advice and recommendations.

Because some vaccines require multiple doses, it’s best to see your health care provider as soon as possible.

Medicines to prevent malaria are pills that you start to take before travel. Take recommended medicines as directed. If your health care provider prescribes medicine for you, take the medicine as directed before, during, and after travel. 

Where can I get travel vaccines?

You may be able to get some travel vaccines from your primary healthcare provider. If you or your healthcare provider need help finding a location that provides certain vaccines or medicines, visit CDC’s Find a Clinic page.

If yellow fever vaccine is recommended or required for your destination, you’ll need to go to a vaccine center authorized to give yellow fever vaccinations. Many yellow fever vaccine centers also provide other pre-travel health care services. Find an  authorized US yellow fever vaccine center .

Examples of Vaccines

Here is a list of possible vaccines that you may need to get for the first time or boosters before you travel.

• Cholera 
• Flu (Influenza)
• Hepatitis A   
• Hepatitis B   
• Japanese encephalitis   
• MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
• Meningococcal

Hi everyone, just wondered if anyone has used these guys and where they o.k as they are coming up cheapest for booking The Sofitel Grand and The Grand Amrath.

BTW has anyone stayed at either of these hotels and which did they prefer?.Just cannot decide!!

I have seen a frequent poster on another board who has used them... do you have to prepay the hotel costs? I usually don't care for that but it is one way to get the rate down.

yeah, you have to pay up front which is why i wanted to know if they are reputable .

Here are some posts from another board:

We stayed last summer at the Le Meridien which is located 2 blocks from the Grand Place and across the street from the main train station. We reserved the room at gtahotels.com for $117 euros (which included their $25 euro breakfast buffet) A great place at a great price.

I think that indicates it should be reliable...

Thanks everyone.

i have booked a few times in london with them..you pay upfront...but never had a problem..look out they have secret hotels, and you can work out which ones they are with a bigger saving
