The influenza vaccine is a safe and inexpensive vaccine. Persons who intend to travel outside the United States should receive the influenza vaccine when they visit their internist for a pretravel consultation. This vaccine will be more valuable than most tropical vaccines, such as those for yellow fever or cholera, especially for the business traveler who rarely gets exposed to any serious illness except influenza. I am not aware of any studies that “prove” the need for the influenza vaccine for airplane travelers, but, from my experience in travel medicine, immunization recommendations should include the influenza vaccine for international travelers.
