Yes: Certain bacterial, viral, and fungal infections are more prevalent in different parts of the world. If you plan to travel, you should consult with your physician about your destination and check that all of your vaccines are up to date. The hepatitis a vaccine is commonly given to travelers because the hepatitis a virus is food-borne and easily spread at restaurants.
