"What travel shots do I need to go to Brazil, (India, Haiti, China, Ghana, Botswana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Peru, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia, South Africa, Turkey, etc)?" This is the most common question we hear when travelers are preparing for their trip.
No matter where you are traveling, you should know that you will be exposed to certain organisms that could make you severely ill; perhaps even kill you. As a new or even experienced international traveler you should be educated about the environment you'll be visiting. Ideally, you should schedule your appointment with a Passport Health Travel Medicine Specialist 4-6 weeks prior to your departure date. However, we will always accomodate last minute travelers.
At Passport Health, we don't just vaccinate, we educate.
