Whether you’re heading across the country or around the globe, holiday travel brings excitement—and health risks. From crowded airports to new environments, exposure to illnesses increases during the busy travel season. At Beverly Hills Concierge Doctor, we help you stay healthy on the go with vaccinations delivered directly to your home or hotel through our trusted house call service.
No waiting rooms, no hassle—just professional, personalized care when and where you need it.
Why Vaccinations Matter for Holiday Travel
The holidays are peak travel time, with over 115 million Americans traveling during the season, according to AAA. Unfortunately, this also means greater exposure to contagious viruses and bacteria. Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and your family, especially when traveling through crowded spaces or unfamiliar regions.
Common travel-related illnesses include:
- Influenza
- COVID-19
- Pneumonia
- Hepatitis A & B
- Typhoid fever
- Yellow fever
- Meningitis
- Traveler’s diarrhea (linked to foodborne pathogens)
Many of these conditions can be avoided or reduced in severity with proper immunization. Our concierge medical team in Beverly Hills and Greater Los Angeles makes it easy to prepare with vaccinations tailored to your travel plans.
Domestic Travel: Flu and COVID-19 Protection
Even if you’re staying within the U.S., vaccines remain crucial. Winter is flu season, and traveling through airports, bus terminals, or crowded events increases your risk.
Essential domestic travel vaccines include:
- Influenza (Flu Shot): Recommended annually, especially during fall and winter
- COVID-19 Booster: Stay current with the latest boosters to maintain protection
- Pneumonia Vaccine: Ideal for seniors and those with chronic conditions
These can be especially important when visiting elderly relatives or immunocompromised individuals over the holidays.
International Travel: Extra Protection You Might Need
If your holiday plans include international destinations, especially in developing countries, you may require special travel vaccines. The CDC maintains a list of recommended and required vaccinations by country. At Beverly Hills Concierge Doctor, we’ll help you determine what’s needed based on your destination, travel itinerary, and medical history.
Common international travel vaccines include:
- Typhoid – Common in parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America
- Yellow Fever – Required for entry into certain countries in Africa and South America
- Hepatitis A & B – Transmitted through contaminated food and water
- Rabies – Advised for adventure travelers or those visiting rural areas
- Meningococcal – Required for certain regions, including parts of Africa and for Hajj pilgrims
We’ll create a custom travel health plan to keep you protected wherever you’re going.
