Q
Yellow fever
A
Yellow fever is the only legally required immunization (and then, only for some countries). A single inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) booster is recommended for adult travelers who have had primary polio immunization, but who will be traveling to an area where polio is endemic. Cholera and typhus are generally not required immunizations for travelers. Hepatitis A is the most common vaccine-preventable illness acquired by travelers, but vaccination is not required.
