Abstract
American travelers increasingly are selecting exotic destinations in the developing world. This poses a challenge to primary care clinicians who wish to provide recommendations to their patients regarding optimal protection from infectious disease risks. Recommendations should be individualized for each traveler and journey, accounting for personal health, health risks of specific destinations, style of travel, and activities anticipated. This article updates practitioners on the essentials of immunization before international travel.
