Tetanus/Diphtheria
Most US have received their primary series in childhood and their last booster in high school. Boosters should be received every 10 years thereafter unless indicated.
Polio
The polio vaccine series is also routinely administered in childhood and a one-time booster should be received if 10 years have elapsed since the last dose.
Typhoid
Typhoid is a bacterial infection caused by exposure to contaminated food or water. Two vaccines of equal efficacy are available, one injectable and one oral. Boosters should be received every three or seven years respectively.
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A is a viral infection transmitted through contaminated food and water. Long term immunity is possible with new vaccines.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a serious blood and body fluids transmitted viral disease which causes liver damage. It is transmitted in much the same way as AIDS. Persons at high risk are those who are sexually active, live and work with local people where the disease is endemic, share needles health care workers, have an immune deficiency or have blood transfusions. Vaccines which provide long term immunity are available.
Malaria Prevention
Malaria, a serious and often fatal disease present in many parts of the developing world, is transmitted by the bites of infected mosquitoes. No vaccine is available but with proper precautions, risks can be minimized. Anti-malaria tablets which are taken before during and after travel to malarious areas can help prevent illness should bites occur.
