Vaccines for measles, rubella, mumps, and varicella are produced with attenuated viruses, and the other vaccines, available in Japan, are with inactivated antigens. In principles, approximately one-week interval is required after a shot of inactivated vaccine. After an immunization with attenuated vaccines, an interval of one month is required. However, in some cases the doctor can try to adjust the immunization schedule based on the traveler’s schedule before they leave, such as offering multiple shots at once to reduce your visits. Please be aware that some vaccines (e.g, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, and tetanus) require 2 to 3 shots to complete the series. In any case, it is recommended that travelers should start the series as soon as their trips are scheduled to allow sufficient time to administer all pertinent vaccines.
