The pretravel management of the international pediatric traveler is based on provision of preventive education, chemoprophylaxis against malaria and traveler's diarrhea, as well as travel vaccinations. Immunization requirements are determined based on the traveler's pretravel immunization status, age, medical history, and destination. Immunization needs also vary depending on the exposures during the trip. Potential exposure to water, insects, or animals as well as duration of travel will help tailor risk avoidance education and travel immunizations. This review provides clinicians an overview of vaccines recommended for children traveling internationally.
