When traveling to another country be aware your doctor may not carry a travel vaccine and you may have to visit a medical clinic.
Many travel vaccines require multiple shots or take time to become fully effective. But some multiple-dose vaccines (like hepatitis A) can still give you partial protection after just one dose. Some can also be given on an "accelerated schedule," meaning doses are given in a shorter period of time.

# Get Vaccinated Before You Travel
## What to know
It’s important to plan ahead to get the shots required for all countries you and your family plan to visit.
## Before you travel
Protect your child and family when traveling in the United States or abroad by:

Vaccines can help protect your child and family when traveling.
- Getting the [shots required for all countries](https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/list/) you and your family plan to visit during your trip
- Making sure you and your family are [up-to-date on all routine U.S. vaccines](https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/by-age/index.html)
- Staying informed about [travel notices](https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices) and alerts and how they can affect your family's travel plans
Avoid getting sick or coming back home and spreading the disease to others.
## Vaccinate at least a month before you travel
See your doctor when you start to plan your trip abroad. It's important to do this well in advance.
- Your body needs time to build up immunity.
- You may need several weeks to get all the doses of the vaccine.
- Your primary doctor may not stock travel vaccines. [Visit a travel medical clinic](https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/find-clinic).
- You'll need time [to prepare for your pre-travel appointment](https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/preparing-for-appointment).
- If the country you visit requires a **yellow fever vaccine**, only a [limited number of clinics](https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellow-fever-vaccination-clinics/search) have the vaccine and will probably be some distance from where you live. You ***must*** get it at least 10 days before travel.
[Find out which vaccines are recommended or required for the countries you plan to visit](https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel).
### Time-saving Tip
Save time by getting routine vaccines during the same doctor visit. Use CDC's vaccine assessment tools and discuss the results with your doctor. They tell you which U.S. recommended vaccines [adults](https://www2.cdc.gov/nip/adultimmsched/) and [children](https://www2a.cdc.gov/vaccines/childquiz/) might need.
## Last-minute travelers
When traveling to another country be aware your doctor may not carry a travel vaccine and you may have to visit a medical clinic.
Many travel vaccines require multiple shots or take time to become fully effective. But some multiple-dose vaccines (like hepatitis A) can still give you partial protection after just one dose. Some can also be given on an "accelerated schedule," meaning doses are given in a shorter period of time.
