International Health Regulations currently require only two vaccines for travel to specific parts of the world. They are:
Yellow fever – For travel to certain parts of sub-Saharan Africa and South America
Meningococcal vaccination – Required by the government of Saudi Arabia for annual travel during the period of the Hajj
Most vaccines take time to become effective in your body and some vaccines must be given in a series over a period of days or sometimes weeks.
If it is less than 4 weeks before you leave, you should still see your doctor. You might still benefit from shots or medications and other information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while traveling.
