Travel Vaccines

Making plans to travel? Don’t forget vaccinations and vaccination records.

• Visit the CDC’s Travelers’ Health web page. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tracks current disease outbreaks and recommends vaccinations on this website.
• Check vaccination requirements in the country or countries you are visiting. Do you have the proper proof of vaccinations for entry?
• Make an appointment with your healthcare provider at least six weeks before your trip to ensure you are adequately vaccinated before departure. Don’t have a healthcare provider? Many local health departments and private provider offices offer travel vaccinations.

• Don’t forget to bring proof of required vaccinations, documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination. 
• Learn how to download and view vaccine records with the Docket application on the Vaccine Records and Docket page. The Docket application also offers a SMART Health Card QR code for proof of COVID-19 vaccination.

The following vaccinations may be needed depending on the destination. It’s also important to keep up to date on recommended routine vaccines, including flu, RSV, and COVID-19. For more information visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Traveler’s Health page.
