For example, immunization for yellow fever is compulsory for travelers who want to visit Africa and South America due to the disease is endemic in the country.
In addition a number of other immunizations such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid, meningoccal meningitis, polio, rabies, Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine (JE) and the pneumococcal vaccine is also recommended.
