A required vaccination is one for which formal proof of immunization is needed in order to enter one of the destination countries. This immunization needs to be administered at least 10 days prior to entry. A recommended immunization is one that is suggested to protect travelers from illnesses while out of the country, but is not required by any government for entry.
