Vaccination

When traveling abroad for work, education or pleasure, it is often necessary to be vaccinated against a number of potentially threatening diseases that may be prevalent in the destination region. Consulting a doctor, consulate, or the World Health Organization before traveling are all good ways to know what potential risks you may face, and which vaccinations may be required.

Unfortunately, only some international insurance companies include cover for vaccinations. Vaccinations are very useful and often a necessity for anybody who has to travel to more remote places of the world. If an insurer covers the cost of vaccinations there are often limits to which vaccinations the company will cover. In many cases these limits will vary based on the plan as well as the insurance provider.

In most cases vaccinations will be covered if they are required to travel to a different location. In order to confirm that vaccinations are provided by your plan, it is advisable to always check with the insurance company to see if vaccinations are covered. If vaccinations are provided, this option will also cover vaccinations for newborns. However, it is important to understand that this cover may be subject to a waiting period, so it is important to get specific details regarding vaccination cover from the insurance provider.
