Different Types of Vaccinations that you need while travelling


Nothing compares to organizing a fantastic vacation to a far-off place. Getting vaccinated for travel should be your top priority.


You can prepare for your next adventure by getting your vaccinations before you travel, which will help you develop protection against diseases to which your body may not be immune. Additionally, remember to bring the necessities, such as recommended prescription drugs and travel insurance.


It is all too easy to forget to get our jabs before we leave in the rush of organizing a fantastic trip. However, since vaccinations will help you stay safe and protected from potentially dangerous diseases found in other parts of the world, they should be your first priority when making plans.


Epicare Health provides a comprehensive travel vaccination service and Travel vaccines that includes free travel advice, antimalarial medications, and consultations. Our experts will thoroughly review your itinerary and work with you to select the best tablets and vaccines for you and your family.


 

List of different vaccines that you may need during your traveling are as follows:


1. Yellow Fever Vaccine


An infected Aedes aegypti mosquito transmits the dangerous disease known as yellow fever. It can be found in Trinidad in the Caribbean, South America, Central America, and parts of Africa. In the daytime, the mosquito is more likely to bite. Close contact with an infected person does not spread the disease.


2. Typhoid Vaccine


Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection that can spread throughout the body and harm several organs. It can cause major health problems and even death if treatment is delayed.


Consuming food or water tainted with an infected person's urine or feces is the main way that this dangerous infection is spread.


3. Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccine


The disease known as tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is primarily spread by tick bites. It can cause flu-like symptoms or more serious illnesses like inflammation of the brain or meningitis.


Consuming unpasteurized milk from sick animals, especially goats, can occasionally cause infection.


4. Shingles Vaccine


The painful skin rash known as Shingles (herpes zoster) is caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus (varicella-zoster virus) in adulthood. According to estimates, 90% of people in the UK are infected with the shingles virus. The risk of the dormant varicella-zoster virus reactivating and producing shingles is 1 in 4.


5. Rabies Vaccine


Rabies is a serious viral infection that damages the nervous system and brain. After an animal bite or scratch, the virus is usually spread by the saliva of the infected animal.


The most common human infection source is dogs. Other animals that could spread rabies include cats and monkeys. Every nation's bats carry a risk of contracting rabies.


6. Hepatitis B Vaccine


Hepatitis B, commonly referred to as Hep B, is a liver-damaging virus that is transmitted through bodily fluids like blood.


In adults, it usually goes away on its own in a few months and doesn't cause any symptoms.


But in kids, it often persists for years and can eventually cause serious liver damage.


Although hepatitis B is less common in the UK than in other parts of the world, some groups are more vulnerable than others.


People from high-risk nations, drug injectors, and people who have multiple sexual partners without protection are all included in this.


7. Cholera Vaccine


Cholera is an infection that can cause severe watery diarrhea and is mainly spread through food and water.


The bacterium Vibrio cholerae is the cause of cholera, which is usually contracted through tainted water and, less commonly, contaminated food, especially shellfish.


8. Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine


The brain virus that causes Japanese encephalitis is spread by mosquito bites. Although it is uncommon among tourists, it is most common in rural Southeast Asia, the Pacific islands, and the Far East.


Birds and pigs both carry the virus. The virus is transferred to mosquitoes when they bite infected animals. It cannot be transferred from one individual to another.


There is currently no treatment for Japanese encephalitis. The goal of treatment is to support the body's natural defenses against the disease.
