What vaccinations would pregnant woman need when traveling to the middle east ? |
Travel Info i would like to know for 3 month pregnant women traveling to the middle east what kind of vaccinations or protection should she prepare for??? Travel Tips Depends on which country you are going to. Here in Iran you don't need to have vaccinations. Iran is one of the safest countries and we have one of the best medical cares. Every year a lot of people around Asia come here for medical cares. Except of some of the southern part of Iran (Just South & East Iran's boarders) which are under threats because war against Iraq and Afghanistan. There aren't enough health care because war and people may catch some diseases. If you don't want to go to these boarders, don't worry. Iran is comletely safe. For more details and finding out about some other Middle Eastern coutnries take a look at follows link: http://www.mdtravelhealth.com Others The best thing to do is just ask your doctor or a government official. While Yahoo answers can help it's always best to get a professional opinion in things like these. uhhh have u seen the movie "jarhead" well in the movie the soldiers have to take a pill that when or if they should get a women pregnant the child wont come out all deformed. well we (soldiers) actually have to take a similar pill........so anyone traveling there might have to do the same. i personally would not suggest you going there while you are pregnant, too risky She needs to get the "Don't Travel To The Middle East While Pregnant Vaccine." That is not a vacation spot. Don't put yourself and your baby at risk. ive been to teh middle east and when i had to get my shots they didn't ask if i was pregnant or not so, i dont think it makes a difference... but either way when you make the apt with your doc to get shots, she or he will know for sure :) congrats on the baby!! as far as i know there are certain shots (yellow fever, menangitis etc) that cannot be administered during a pregnancy so please check with your health care service provider. Summary of recommendations: Jordan (Middle East) All travelers should visit either their personal physician or a travel health clinic 4-8 weeks before departure. Vaccinations: Hepatitis A Recommended for all travelers Typhoid For travelers who may eat or drink outside major restaurants and hotels Polio One-time booster recommended for any adult traveler who completed the childhood series but never had polio vaccine as an adult Hepatitis B For travelers who may have intimate contact with local residents, especially if visiting for more than 6 months Rabies For travelers who may have direct contact with animals and may not have access to medical care Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) Two doses recommended for all travelers born after 1956, if not previously given Tetanus-diphtheria Revaccination recommended every 10 years |
