Planning a trip abroad in 2025—whether it’s to explore the Amazon rainforest, experience Tokyo’s cherry blossom season, or soak up a European summer? Make sure your health is as prepared as your itinerary.
Use this trusted pre-travel health checklist to avoid last-minute surprises, missed vaccinations, or travel delays. Get protected, packed, and ready to go.
Travel vaccines aren’t one-size-fits-all. They depend on your destination, trip duration, and planned activities. Some vaccines require multiple doses over time—so don’t wait until the last minute.
Common 2025 travel vaccines include:
Yellow Fever – Required for entry into parts of South America and Africa
Typhoid – Recommended for travel to Asia, Africa, and Latin America
Hepatitis A & B – Strongly recommended for most international travelers
Japanese Encephalitis – Needed for longer stays in rural areas of Asia
Rabies (pre-exposure) – Ideal for hikers, adventurers, and animal workers
📌 Olympia Plaza Tip: Schedule your travel health consultation at least 4–6 weeks before departure to ensure full protection.
Travel requirements are constantly changing. Some countries now require:
Digital visas or e-visas
Proof of vaccination (e.g., Yellow Fever, COVID-19, polio, meningitis)
Passport validity of 6+ months
Use official sources like:
Avoid scrambling to find a pharmacy abroad. Bring a basic travel health kit with:
Prescription medications (in original packaging)
Motion sickness remedies
Anti-diarrheal and electrolyte tablets
Insect repellent and sunscreen
Hand sanitizer and basic first aid
Copies (digital + physical) of your vaccine records
💡 Bonus: Ask your travel clinic about malaria pills, altitude sickness medication, or antibiotics based on your destination.
Each country has unique health risks. A travel health consultation can help you prepare for:
Mosquito-borne illnesses (Zika, dengue, chikungunya)
Food and water risks (cholera, traveler’s diarrhea)
Altitude sickness (in cities like Cusco or Kathmandu)
Air quality issues (in densely populated urban areas)
🧭 Use the CDC Destination Tool to research health advisories by country.
