The answer depends on two factors. One is the place where the traveler intends to visit and the diseases prevalent there. The second one is the state of the traveler’s immune system, the types of diseases to which he or she has the lowest resistance. Travel vaccinations can be done away in some cases like when the place or places that he or she visits has the highest of hygiene or health conditions or when the traveler adopts a travel style  that is mostly secure and isolated from infected areas and conditions.
