Vaccines when travelling abroad?
It is always recommended, before an international trip, to research the health environment of your destination. A good place to start is the website of the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention which maintains heath alerts for all countries. Print the information and bring it to your personal physician at least three months in advance of your trip in case she recommends vaccines or other precautions. Note that a three month lead-time is needed because some vaccines are not stocked by physicians offices or pharmacies and they have be ordered from the manufacturer; also, most vaccines need to be injected at least 2-3 weeks in advance in order to activate their defense in the human body. In general, each person's medical conditions are unique and only your personal physician can best determine how to prepare for a safe trip abroad. Note: in this field trip we are not planning to visit any farms or agricultural areas which might require special immunization.  China
