Most international travelers are under-vaccinated — and they don't know it. Routine childhood immunizations may have waned, destination-specific vaccines are frequently overlooked, and the accelerating pace of global travel means more people are exposed to more pathogens in more places than ever before.
Dr. Paul Kilgore is a vaccine scientist, former CDC Disease Detective, and physician-epidemiologist with 150+ peer-reviewed publications and direct experience as a COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial investigator. He has also lived overseas for 12 years and worked across 30 countries — giving him both the scientific authority and the practical field experience to address traveler vaccination with unusual depth.
This session covers the full spectrum of travel immunization: which vaccines are required vs. recommended by destination, how to optimize timing for last-minute travelers, which routine vaccines most adults are unknowingly missing, special considerations for pregnant travelers, immunocompromised individuals, and long-term expatriates, and how to build a lifetime immunization plan using the VaxLife™ tool. Dr. Kilgore addresses common traveler vaccine questions directly, including safety concerns, combination scheduling, and cost.
Attendees leave with a personalized understanding of their travel vaccination gaps and a clear plan for closing them.
