title: Travelling with children.
abstract: Today children are more frequently travelling worldwide, thus increasing their exposure to exotic pathogens and unexpected environmental hazards. In order to ensure the safety of their health while travelling, children should see the person in charge of their medical care well in advance of their journey to assess the status of their routine immunizations and to evaluate their need for any travel-specific vaccines. In this review we touch on some of the most critical pre-travel vaccines and precautions needed for travelling children.
