In Canada, the need is not as great, but in the United States, and especially Mexico and other southern countries, it is important, above all, to protect themselves more.

Protection against Hepatitis A and B is essential to have, but when visiting southern countries malaria tablets may also be relevant. For some risk groups, it is also important to protect against, among other things, cholera and rabies.
