title: [Immunization plan for foreign travel and sojourn].
abstract: Immunization offers the traveller protection against dangerous communicable diseases. In recent years the international traveller has had to consider not only the vaccinations required by some countries under the International Health Regulations (at present only yellow fever and cholera) but also a growing number of vaccinations for individual protection. The risk of infection varies with destination, means of travel, lifestyle, season and length of stay abroad, and the vaccination schedule and counselling must be adapted accordingly. Apart from the "exotic" vaccinations mentioned above, a short review is presented of the indications, use and efficacy of vaccinations against poliomyelitis, tetanus, diphtheria, hepatitis B (+ hepatitis A prophylaxis), typhoid, meningococci, rabies, tuberculosis and tick-borne encephalitis.
