Yellow Fever, a serious viral disease from mosquito bites, affects multiple organs and can cause severe bleeding. With a 20-50% mortality rate at its critical stage and no available treatment, vaccination remains the only prevention. Some countries also require vaccination proof for entry.
Hepatitis A, a liver virus from contaminated food and drinks, ranges from mild flu-like symptoms to severe cases needing hospitalization. While rarely fatal, there’s no treatment, making vaccination the best preventive measure. Protect yourself against this illness.
Hepatitis B is a liver virus transmitted through exposure to unsterilized needles, sexual contact, and more. It can lead to cirrhosis or liver failure, and some carry the virus for life. Treatment can be challenging, but vaccination offers a safe and effective prevention method.
Keep your health in check by regularly updating your routine vaccinations.
Typhoid, caused by Salmonella bacteria, often comes from contaminated food, leading to fever, abdominal pain, and potentially fatal complications like bowel perforation. Treatment requires antibiotics, amid growing concerns of resistance. Vaccination can prevent about 65% of cases. Avoid undercooked foods to reduce risk.
Rabies, a deadly virus from the Lyssavirus family, primarily spreads through bites from infected dogs. Early symptoms include fever and headache, progressing to severe neurological effects and hydrophobia. Fatal once symptoms develop, vaccination is crucial and enhances treatment efficacy post-exposure.
Traveler’s diarrhea often results from exposure to different sanitation standards, affecting travelers through local food and water. Symptoms vary from mild discomfort to severe diarrhea with fever and cramps. Treatments include over-the-counter remedies and antibiotics for intense cases. Dukoral, an oral vaccine, provides specific protection.
