Why do I need vaccines before traveling?


At Josefina F. Tur M.D. P.A., your health and safety are our top priorities—especially when you’re preparing to travel. Before embarking on your journey, it’s essential to receive the recommended vaccines. Traveling exposes you to infectious diseases that may be uncommon or absent in your home country, and your immune system might not be ready to fight these new threats. Vaccines help your body build protection, reducing your risk of getting seriously ill during your trip.

Some countries require proof of specific vaccinations, such as yellow fever, to prevent the spread of dangerous diseases. Our clinic can provide you with the necessary documentation and guidance to ensure you meet all international requirements.

By getting vaccinated at Josefina F. Tur M.D. P.A., you’re not only protecting yourself but also helping to safeguard vulnerable communities—both at your destination and back home—who may not be able to receive vaccines themselves. We are committed to supporting your travel plans with personalized immunization advice and care.

What types of vaccines are recommended for international travel?


At Josefina F. Tur M.D. P.A., we understand that planning for international travel involves more than just booking flights and hotels—it’s also about protecting your health. Whether you’re traveling for business, leisure, or family reasons, our team is here to help you understand which vaccines and preventive measures are recommended to keep you and your loved ones safe during your journey.

Before you travel, it’s important to ensure your routine vaccinations are up to date. At Josefina F. Tur M.D. P.A., we review your immunization history for vaccines such as measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP or Tdap), polio, and seasonal influenza. Other vaccines might be recommended depending on the specific region that you are traveling to.  These vaccines protect against diseases that can cause outbreaks anywhere in the world.

We recommend scheduling a travel health consultation at JJosefina F. Tur M.D. P.A. at least 4–6 weeks before your departure. Our specialists will review your travel plans and medical history, discuss necessary immunizations, and provide up-to-date advice on travel health risks and precautions.

When should I get my travel vaccines?


At Josefina F. Tur M.D. P.A., we recommend beginning your travel vaccination planning at least four to six weeks before your departure. This advanced timing is crucial, as it allows your body to build up immunity after vaccination—especially since some vaccines require multiple doses spread out over several weeks.

When you schedule a pre-travel consultation at Josefina F. Tur M.D. P.A., our healthcare professionals will review your travel destination, planned activities, age, health status, and vaccination history to determine exactly which vaccines you need. Some countries require proof of specific vaccinations, like yellow fever, for entry. We’ll make sure you are fully prepared and have all necessary documentation.
