Common travel vaccines include hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid, influenza, tetanus booster, and sometimes yellow fever or Japanese encephalitis depending on destination.

Malaria prevention may involve prescription medication, mosquito repellents, protective clothing, and sleeping under insecticide-treated nets.
