Why travel vaccines matter and timing
Risk varies by destination and trip style. Risk can rise with rural travel, backpacking, hostels or camping, long stays, healthcare work, and animal contact.
Vaccines are not instant. Some need to be given in advance so your body can build immunity. Some involve a course over weeks or months.
