Travel Health FAQs
Why are vaccines necessary for travel to certain destinations?
Many developing countries do not have the means to eradicate certain diseases (such as yellow fever, typhoid fever, and malaria) that have been long-eradicated in the United States. For this reason, specific countries may still carry these diseases in the general population, and they can be serious and in worst cases, fatal. Thankfully, many of these illnesses are easily preventable or treatable. At VaccinationsRx, we provide a wide range of vaccines and medications that can help keep you safe on your trip. You should immunize yourself against these conditions not only to prevent you from getting sick, but to prevent you from bringing these diseases back to your community.
What services does VaccinationsRx offer travelers?
