International Travel Vaccine Recommendations for Children
This article (1) explores the universally recommended routine vaccines that are particularly important for children to be up to date before travel (ie, measles, mumps, rubella; hepatitis A and B; polio; meningococcal; coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19]; and influenza) and (2) explains the travel-specific vaccination recommendations (ie, dengue, cholera, typhoid, tick-borne encephalitis, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, and rabies). Physicians can encourage parents to consult the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for travel vaccine recommendations (https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel). Children must remain up to date on universally recommended vaccines and receive the appropriate vaccines before international travel to prevent serious illness and limit the spread of diseases in the United States.
