There are three categories of vaccines
Routine- These are the vaccines we receive in the doctors office during our childhood and a few in our adult years.
Required- These are the vaccines that are required before you can enter a country. The purpose of the vaccines are not for your
protection, but to protect their citizens from you. Examples are the yellow fever vaccine required before entrance into Ghana, and the
meningitis vaccine required before entrance into Saudi Arabia.
Recommended- These are the vaccines that are recommended for the travelers protection from diseases found in the country to be
visited.
Dr. Williams will only recommend the vaccines he truly believes would benefit the traveler.
