When to get vaccinated?

In most cases, you should be vaccinated between four to six weeks prior to your trip. This timeframe allows the vaccine to kick in and become active before any possible exposure to pathogens (disease-causing microbes) or their vectors (pathogen carriers). With an active vaccine in your bloodstream, you’ll be well fortified against diseases. The time period will also allow you enough time to complete the required doses of vaccines, as some can require more than a single dose. It will also allow you ample time to notice and address side effects with expert help before travelling.
