Travel medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention and treatment of medical problems in international travelers. The Tropical and Travel Medicine activity is aimed at the prevention and treatment of diseases related to travel, in particular infectious diseases. These activities are generally integrated into the Infectious Diseases Department of the Central Hospital. This division not only deals with travel medicine, but also brings together all areas related to infectious diseases: physician consultation in infectiology, microbiology, infection prevention and control (or Hospital Hygiene or Hospital Epidemiology), Screening for HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, and control of infectious diseases. This review focuses on the indications for each travel-related vaccine, as well as a structured summary and visuals depicting the geographical distribution of important travel-related diseases and highlighting high-risk destinations and behaviors. It is meant to provide persons traveling to developing nations from developed countries with important information regarding the notion of preventive immunization or vaccination.
