| NEW IN THE PROGRAM |
| TRAVEL REPORT- VACCINATION PLAN |
| After the travel itinerary has been chosen, the vaccinations and malaria chemoprophylaxis recommended for at least one country on the itinerary are preselected in the next step, "Vaccines - Prophylaxis". These default selections can be unchecked, if appropriate, because of prior immunizations or country-specific indications (see country page on this same page on the right top). In particular, the "high risk only" and the malaria chemoprophylaxis recommendation may depend on the season and/or the region visited.
In addition, a vaccine type can be selected for certain vaccinations, e.g. booster, basic immunization, combined vaccine, etc. To avoid unwanted default selections on the final vaccination plan, the user should select the desired vaccine type if there is a choice of more than one type ('Select' in the pull-down menu).
