Vaccines mimic the virus or bacteria that causes the disease and triggers the body’s production of antibodies. Being vaccinated can shield you from getting severe COVID-19.
The flu shot shields you against influenza. Because of the quick evolution of flu viruses year after year, annual immunization is recommended. Thus, new flu vaccines are released every year to keep up with rapidly adapting flu viruses.
Depending on your destination, it is necessary to be vaccinated before and sometimes after your trip. Be sure to book an appointment several months before your planned trip to ensure you are fully immunized and safe to travel.
