Travelers’ Health

PDF version for printing [PDF – 2 pages]

The mission of the Travelers’ Health Branch of CDC’s Division of Global Migration Health is to reduce illness and injury in US residents traveling internationally or living abroad. Applying the best science, we provide alerts, recommendations, education, and technical support to travelers and the healthcare providers who serve them.

The CDC Travelers’ Health Branch provides international travel health advice, including vaccine recommendations and requirements, behavioral precautions, and advice for specific worldwide events. We play an integral role in many of CDC’s global emergency response efforts, such as the H1N1 influenza pandemic and the MERS, Ebola, and Zika outbreaks. Our focus areas converge on:

• investigating the wide-ranging health threats posed by mass gatherings abroad;
• teaming up with other CDC programs and external partners to advance groundbreaking science related to infectious and noninfectious threats to the health of travelers;
• understanding and advising international travelers with specific needs ; and
• applying best practices in health communication science and new information technologies.

Where We Work

Our complete portfolio of travel notices, recommendations, traveler tools, and clinical guidance is available online at www.cdc.gov/travel . This online portal, consistently ranks as one of the most visited CDC websites.

Our travel health messages and materials can also be found at airports and seaports across the country and in embassies around the world.

How We Work Together

We maintain formal partnerships with the World Health Organization , foreign ministries of health, US federal agencies (including the Department of State), Global TravEpiNet (a national network of travel clinics across the United States) and GeoSentinel (global disease surveillance network of over 200 members and 60 clinical sites on six continents).

Program in Action

Surveillance and Epidemiology: Through our collaboration with the GeoSentinel Network Global TravEpiNet, and other partners, we ensure our travel alerts are based on most current science available.

Yellow Book and Provider Education: We publish CDC Health Information for International Travel (commonly called the Yellow Book) every two years. The Yellow Book is a reference for health professionals who provide care for international travelers about health guidelines such as pretravel vaccine recommendations and destination-specific health advice.

Travel Health Alerts and Stakeholder Communications: We constantly seek innovative ways to communicate with our audiences, like designing interactive maps, text alerts, mobile applications, and digital media campaigns. By customizing, promoting, and evaluating audience-centric content we inform and empower international travelers as well as the partners and healthcare providers who serve them.

Travel Health

Travelers should carefully consider their personal health needs before traveling abroad. With some advanced planning, most medical issues can be managed. The information below can help you develop a personalized travel health plan to identify your needs, concerns, or issues and mitigate any identified risks.

Medical Risks

• Research the medical risks in your location
• Know the standard of medical care
• Research transportation feasibility, such as access and reliability of ambulance services
• Know the disease risk (malaria/yellow fever/other)
• Know the areas you should avoid and precautions you should take

Visit your doctor or a travel clinic It is advised to discuss your destination with your physician or medical profession and ensure that you have all required and recommended vaccinations. Start this process at least 6 weeks prior to departure as some vaccinations must be administered sequentially and over time.

• Get a comprehensive physical examination
• Discuss your prescriptions, refills, and check whether they are legal in your destination
• Discuss any personal risk factors
• Visit your dentist
• Address any outstanding medical and dental care before going abroad

It is important to discuss required and recommended vaccines (e.g., COVID, yellow fever), vector borne illness prevention (e.g., Malaria, chikungunya), and any illness upon return with a medical professional. You are advised to make a travel consultation appointment with a doctor or travel health professional at least six weeks before your departure to ensure enough time for certain vaccination series to be completed and become fully effective. You should bring your vaccine record and a detailed travel itinerary to your appointment.

For more information, please visit the CDC's website .

Tufts OHS will facilitate the scheduling of your appointment prior to your departure or upon your return.

Tufts University partners with On Call International to provide global assistance and medical coverage to all Tufts travelers on university-related business and programs. 

To be eligible for the coverage your trip must be registered with the  Tufts Travel Registry . This will ensure that On Call International is able to verify that you are a Tufts traveler and entitled to the services and benefits. These services and benefits are available for the duration of an international trip and end when your return to the U.S or your home country.

For complete details, visit our global assistance webpage .

For many travelers, it is necessary to carry medication for personal use across international borders. The rules about prescription and non-prescription (or "over the counter") medications are different in each country. A drug that is common in your home country may be prohibited in your destination. Or your destination may require a doctor's note explaining your need for the drug.

Travelers who violate medication transport rules may face serious consequences, even if the violation was unintentional. Drugs can be confiscated, and in some cases, criminal charges may be involved. With proper pre-trip preparation, many of these problems can be prevented.

• Bring an ample supply of medication to cover you for the duration of your trip, and a few extra days in case there are unexpected delays.
• Carry a letter from your physician that describes the medical condition and any prescription medications, including the generic name of prescribed drugs and dosages.
• Make a copy of the prescription, including generic names of the drug.
• Keep medications in their original, labeled containers.
• Check with the foreign embassy of the country you are visiting or transiting to make sure your medications are permitted in that country.
• Travel with medication in your hand (carry on) luggage so that it stays with you the entire time.

Obtaining refills or replacements for lost medication while abroad

Drugs sold abroad are not always rigorously inspected or manufactured using high-quality methods. Counterfeit drugs are a worldwide problem. Since standards vary widely, it is best to pack enough medication to last the entire time you are away.

If you lose your medication or need an emergency refill on a prescription drug, you should contact On Call International .

First-Aid Kits

Travelers are encouraged to pack a basic first-aid kit or travel health kit for common, minor medical emergencies. Examples of items to include are listed below and a complete list can be found on the CDC Pack Smart guide .

• Medicine you take at home regularly. Carry all medicine in original and clearly labeled containers that identify your name, the drug name, and dosage
• Common over-the-counter medicines, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or aspirin to relieve headaches, pain, fever, and simple sprains or strains; antihistamines to relieve allergies; antacid medicine; anti-nausea or motion sickness medicine; medicine for diarrhea; cough and cold medicines
• Antibacterial hand wipes or an alcohol-based hand cleaner (should contain 60% alcohol or more)
• Bandages of assorted sizes to cover minor cuts and scrapes and bandage closures, such as butterfly bandages, to tape edges of minor cuts together
• Items to treat an injury, such as triangular bandage to wrap injuries and make an arm sling; elastic wraps to wrap wrist, ankle, knee, and elbow injuries; gauze in rolls, as well as 2-inch and 4-inch pads to dress larger cuts and scrapes; adhesive tape to keep gauze in place; scissors with rounded tips to cut tape, gauze, or clothes, if necessary (Note that this may not be allowed in your carry-on bag if traveling by air.); safety pins to fasten splints and bandages
• Items to clean and treat a wound, such as antiseptic wipes to disinfect wounds or clean hands; antibiotic ointment to prevent infection in cuts, scrapes, and burns; hydrogen peroxide to clean and disinfect wounds
• Disposable, instant-activating cold packs to cool injuries and burns, as well as for use in strains and sprains
• Tweezers to remove small splinters, foreign objects, bee stingers, and ticks from the skin (Note that this may not be allowed in your carry-on bag if traveling by air.)
• Disposable rubber gloves to protect hands and reduce risk of infection when treating wounds
• Thermometer to take temperatures in case of illness
• Items to protect against and treat insect bites, such as insect repellent; calamine lotion to relieve itching and irritation from insect bites and poison ivy; hydrocortisone cream to relieve irritation from rashes
• Sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher; aloe gel for sunburns
• Epinephrine auto-injector for individuals with severe allergies
• List of prescription medicines and generic names
• Latex condoms
• Water purification tablets
• Extra pair of contact lenses or prescription glasses

Each country has its own standards of accessibility for persons with disabilities. visit the Department of State web page on Traveling with Disabilities to find information about accessibility, local laws, and special circumstances. Unlike the United States, many countries do not legally require accommodations for persons with disabilities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also provides helpful resources and links .

It is recommended to discuss with your healthcare provider your medical history, travel plans, and personal circumstances. They can make recommendations about what vaccinations and medications you will need for your trip.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) hosts a helpline for travelers with disabilities and medical conditions at 855-787-2227 (toll-free). TSA also has a webpage for people traveling with disabilities and medical conditions . where you can find answers to questions about screening policies, procedures, and the security checkpoints.

If you plan to take a service animal abroad, it is important to begin planning early. Contact the U.S. embassy or consulate of the destination country for information on policies, requirements, and possible restrictions about service animals. You will want to learn more about any quarantine, vaccination, and documentation requirements, to consult a veterinarian about tips for traveling with service animals, and to contact your destination hotels or host to make sure they will accommodate service animals.

Mobility International also provides helpful resources to prepare travelers with disabilities for their international trip.

Spotlight: Travel clinic locator

Published on May 01, 2014

Parents PACK

The International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM) provides an easy-to-use global travel clinic locator that allows you to search for travel clinics near you ( www.istm.org ). You can refine your search to look for clinics that provide pre-trip consultations and vaccinations, as well as post-trip consultations. Remember that it takes about two weeks to achieve protective immunity, and some vaccinations require multiple doses to be effective, so it’s important to schedule your appointment with a travel medicine specialist at least four to eight weeks prior to your trip.

Need travel vaccines? Plan ahead.

International travel increases your chances of getting and spreading diseases that are rare or not found in United States. Find out which travel vaccines you may need to help you stay healthy on your trip.

Before Travel

Make sure you are up-to-date on all of your routine vaccines . Routine vaccinations protect you from infectious diseases such as measles that can spread quickly in groups of unvaccinated people. Many diseases prevented by routine vaccination are not common in the United States but are still common in other countries.

Check CDC’s destination pages for travel health information . Check CDC’s webpage for your destination to see what vaccines or medicines you may need and what diseases or health risks are a concern at your destination.

Make an appointment with your healthcare provider or a travel health specialist  that takes place at least one month before you leave. They can help you get destination-specific vaccines, medicines, and information. Discussing your health concerns, itinerary, and planned activities with your provider allows them to give more specific advice and recommendations.

Because some vaccines require multiple doses, it’s best to see your health care provider as soon as possible.

Medicines to prevent malaria are pills that you start to take before travel. Take recommended medicines as directed. If your health care provider prescribes medicine for you, take the medicine as directed before, during, and after travel. 

Where can I get travel vaccines?

You may be able to get some travel vaccines from your primary healthcare provider. If you or your healthcare provider need help finding a location that provides certain vaccines or medicines, visit CDC’s Find a Clinic page.

If yellow fever vaccine is recommended or required for your destination, you’ll need to go to a vaccine center authorized to give yellow fever vaccinations. Many yellow fever vaccine centers also provide other pre-travel health care services. Find an  authorized US yellow fever vaccine center .

Examples of Vaccines

Here is a list of possible vaccines that you may need to get for the first time or boosters before you travel.

• Cholera 
• Flu (Influenza)
• Hepatitis A   
• Hepatitis B   
• Japanese encephalitis   
• MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
• Meningococcal   
• Pneumococcal   
• Polio   
• Rabies   
• Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis)

The Russian Healthcare System: A Quick Overview

Russia offers treatment options at different levels of government and region. Here’s a breakdown of how you can access medical treatment in Russia:

• At the municipal level are Health Posts that offer basic out-patient care for non-emergency situations, for example, vaccinations and routine check-ups.
• Also generally at the municipal level are Health Centers that are specialized for maternity care and also offer routine surgery.
• At the regional level are Urban Polyclinics which offer a wider array of services including follow-up care for complex conditions. Some of the larger polyclinics will have in-house specialists, for example, oncologists and cardiologists.
• Almost exclusively in large cities are Specialized Medical Hospitals which offer the full range of medical services and are also open 24 hours.

This last point about the 24-hour opening is quite important, as many healthcare facilities in Russia operate during normal business hours or are closed at night. Needing immediate medical care ‘off-hours’ can prove challenging or expensive. Many private facilities also observe closing hours or charge high premiums for after-hour care.

Is Healthcare in Russia Free?

Like so many countries, Russia’s healthcare system is based around insurance. And like many European countries, Russia offers its citizens what is meant to be universal healthcare. But in order to gain access to free public healthcare, Russian residents are required to pay in through their employment. The Russian Federation has guaranteed all of its citizens’ free healthcare since ratifying its Constitution in 1996. But in actuality, many people in the population are not covered. In some rural areas, the majority of people have no coverage or access to quality healthcare.

Russia’s Hospital System

How is russia’s public hospital and healthcare system.

Just as there are areas of the country where the population does not have access to quality healthcare, so is it within the public sector. And overall Western visitors are likely to find the Russian healthcare system, especially the public one, not up to standards. Challenges faced within the public hospital system, particularly for foreigners, include food shortages, a lack of English speakers, extremely long wait times, underfunding, basic equipment and facilities, or even a lack of equipment altogether. So if the question is, ‘Are hospitals in Russia good?’ for the average Western expat, if they are discussing the public hospital system, the answer is most likely going to be no.

Russia’s Private Hospitals

The popular choice for expats and visitors to Russia are private hospitals. These often offer English-speaking doctors and staff. The medical treatment available at some of Russia’s private hospitals is very much up to international standards. These hospitals can often be quite expensive. Treatment in Russia’s private hospitals can be costly by the standards of Western medicine. That is why it is so important to have the right insurance that will offer you coverage. Another important point about the private hospital system is that clinics and hospitals are the only options within the private system. There are not private surgeries or practices that offer complex procedures. Rather, doctors, even though is a private system, must operate within an accredited hospital or clinic.

Before traveling to Russia, it is vital to have quality health insurance.

What You Need to Know About Accessing Russia’s Hospital System as an Expat

Once again, access is based on whether this is the public or private system. Those using the public hospital system will either have to show proof of coverage through employment or pay upfront. For those with state-sponsored insurance, there will be no costs. However, it is necessary to show proof of insurance from the start to avoid admitting fees. Public hospitals will treat emergency situations but then bill afterward, as well as for any follow-up treatment, both in-patient or outpatient. For this and all non-emergency services, payment is always expected upfront.

Those accessing the private hospital system should expect to pay upfront. Even with private insurance, many private facilities expect to be paid upfront. In order to avoid this, it is vital to choose both private insurance as well as a hospital that already has an arrangement with the insurance company to bill directly.

How Many Hospitals Are in Russia?

Russia is a country with many hospitals. In just Moscow, there are well over 100 hundred hospitals. As of 2018, there were 5.3 thousand hospitals in Russia. The numbers from 2010 until 2018 show a marked decrease during that timeframe. There was a total net loss of 1,000 hospitals in less than a decade.
