"Hi! I'm Rob Lowes from Carlson Wagonlit and Lowes Travel on behalf of expertvillage.com. Today we are going to talk about trip advisor. In this clip, I am going to talk about vaccinations. Many people may not think about vaccinations when you are traveling but it is our job as professional trip advisors to advise you that you may require extra shots or medication prior to traveling to a destination. This is generally the case for exotic destinations or tropical destinations. You may be doing an amazon cruise or even the Caribbean, it's not a bad idea now. Most doctors will recommend that you get Hepatitis vaccinations and those are generally good for places like Africa or the jungle Southeast Asia, that type of thing you may require Malaria, Yellow Fever and various other inoculations or vaccinations. Most of this can be found on Health websites, Government Health websites. Certainly we can point you in the right direction. The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta usually has a great website with travel advisories for any country in the world and Health Canada or the local health units as well. So it is a great idea to just make sure you've got your shots and even your regular shots; your tetanus and what not, have that up to date when you are traveling to foreign countries. It's not always the same elsewhere so it is a great idea to make sure you are looked after that way or talk to your physician before you travel. "
