While traveling is a pleasure to do when one must take the necessary precautions for health concerns. Although it is not something we do often and still have prejudices about the “painful? Prevention technique, vaccines are very useful and can guard against big trouble in the destinations we have chosen to visit. They can even save us from death!

If you’re going to take you seriously your trip, you should also be aware of the dangers to your health can be exposed. So in this note we will some of the shots you cannot stop to consider when making preparations for your journey.

Yellow Fever

Any country that is part of the WHO (World Health Organization) will be required to have placed the yellow fever vaccine as a condition for admission. It is perhaps the most basic vaccination of all travelers. To prove that you have been vaccinated, you should extend a vaccination certificate is issued only by centers approved by the WHO.

This vaccine has some contraindications, such as that cannot be used by individuals with immunosuppressant (weakened immune system of the body and its ability to fight infections and other diseases) in under 9 months, pregnant women or with hypersensitivity to eggs (one component of the vaccine.)

Encephalitis

To travel to Central and / or Asia, it should give you Encephalitis vaccine, since it is an evil that afflicts this area.

This is a serious disease that can be transmitted in two ways: by a tick, a variety known as Summer Encephalitis, which lives in wooded areas of Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Austria and Slovakia, or by a virus, a variety known as Japanese encephalitis is present in areas of rice fields throughout Asia, including eastern Russia, Japan, China, India, Pakistan and Southeast Asia.

You give it in advance, at least two months before the date of your trip. The vaccine strain of the virus is contraindicated in pregnant women and persons with febrile illness or active infectious, while the Summer Encephalitis is contraindicated in persons with prior hypersensitivity to the vaccine or any of its components.

Typhoid

China, India and Africa are complex destinations in terms of health: there will be indispensable-addition to vaccines for encephalitis-Apply the Typhoid vaccine. This disease is transmitted up through the consumption of contaminated food and water. It is likely that we encounter with food prepared in unhygienic conditions, mainly by pollution in the water. There are also serious cases of flu, so do not miss this prevention.

General measures

There are certain vaccines that are general for any trip you make, you might already have given you, as they are fairly every day. They are indispensable, but it is very convenient when walking away from home, for example, rabies vaccine, typically a disease that we may encounter in rural settings where they live wild animals.

Another example is the hepatitis. Both hepatitis A and hepatitis B, both are viral diseases. Although Hepatitis B is more difficult to spread by transmitted only by blood or sexual relations, is the more serious of the two. Currently there is a vaccine that prevents you from both variants of disease, which is ideal for your trip.

Finally, the Cholera is another disease that can warn you, mainly because the vaccine is one of the easiest to deliver, which holds less contraindication, and that has greater compatibility with other vaccines.

Is the vaccine against malaria?

If you’re a savvy traveler, you’ve ever struggled with the disease of malaria or malaria, both in complex disease prevention as well as medications.

I have good news to tell: The Center for Health Research Manhiça (CISM), based in Mozambique, is hopeful that in 2015 a vaccine is available to deal with this disease.

The CISM is one of Africa’s most important centers in the area of health research and in 2002 first showed the effectiveness of an experimental vaccine against malaria-disease known as malaria, with an efficiency of six months.
