Vaccines for travel: Travel vaccines are vaccines used to prevent illness while traveling . They can range from flu vaccines to MMR to typhoid to yellow fever and so many more. Typically these are given at least 6 weeks prior to travel so that there is enough time for you to develop an immune response before you are potentially exposed to an illness.
