Often More: If i i understand: travel vaccines often include more than just a series of hepatitis b vaccine. You may need update on your tetanus and whooping cough vaccine and hepatitis a vaccine. Depending on where traveling you may be advised on typhoid, measles, mumps, rubella, yellow fever, polio, and other region specific vaccines. Talk to your provider/ travel specialist. Learn malaria risks. Etc too.
