Why Should I Get Vaccinated?
Many locations may have foreign bacteria, insects, and diseases that your body has not been exposed to and will struggle to fight against without proper immunizations as recommended by the CDC. Not only can this make you sick, but it can potentially make others sick after returning to the United States.
Some diseases are more prevalent in other parts of the world due to a lack of modern medicine. By getting vaccinated, you are protecting yourself and others.
