Planning an international trip is always exciting! However, ensuring you are healthy and protected while traveling is just as important as booking your flights and packing your bags. That’s where travel vaccinations come into play. At Burnham Health Pharmacy, we specialize in providing comprehensive travel vaccination services to safeguard your health wherever your journey takes you.
Why Are Travel Vaccinations Important?
Travel vaccinations protect you against various diseases that may not be prevalent in your home country but are common in other parts of the world. For example, regions like Africa, Asia, and South America may pose risks for diseases such as yellow fever, typhoid, or malaria. By getting vaccinated, you not only protect yourself but also contribute to preventing the spread of infectious diseases globally.
Common Travel Vaccinations

- Hepatitis A and B: Protects against liver infections caused by contaminated food, water, or blood.
- Typhoid: Prevents a bacterial infection that spreads through contaminated water and food.
- Yellow Fever: Required for travel to certain parts of Africa and South America.
