A 20-year-old Peace Corps volunteer is planning a trip to Haiti in approximately 6 months, where he will serve in a community health clinic. He will be working in the country for at least 2 years. Although he is in good health and has no current problems or major medical history, he needs advice on travel medications. He is “pretty sure” he has had all of his childhood immunizations, and had a booster tetanus shot as well as a hepatitis A and B series of vaccinations before starting college. Additionally, he had a yellow fever vaccination at age 15, when he went with his family to perform missionary work in South America. At this time, which of the following is an appropriate vaccination to administer to this patient?
A. Hepatitis B booster
B. Malaria vaccination
C. Polio vaccine
D. Japanese encephalitis vaccine
