Immunization-Assistance-Program-(IAP)

Whether you're going on vacation or visiting family, ensuring you have all the recommended vaccines is essential. Getting vaccinated before your trip reduces the risk of falling ill while traveling and prevents the possibility of bringing infections back to your loved ones.

You should be up to date on all your recommended vaccines, including COVID-19. There may be additional vaccines recommended for your destination.

For guidance on the necessary vaccines for your destination, visit CDC Traveler's Health.
