It is indefensible how many U.S. citizens traveling to Asia do not get vaccinated for Japanese encephalitis and rabies, which are both very dangerous diseases. Residents of the Seattle-Tacoma area are strongly advised to visit a reputable Tacoma walk-in clinic to get immunization shots before they go on their trips. Without proper vaccinations, travelers put themselves at risk of contracting these diseases and introducing them to the U.S. population upon returning to the country.
While these two are important, vaccinations for these diseases are not the only ones international travelers should get. They should also get vaccinated for measles, mumps, and rubella; Hepatitis A and B; polio; and meningococcal meningitis, among other common diseases.
