Abstract:
As a direct consequence of the current increase in international mobility, a significant increase in family travel is occurring. Protection against vaccine preventable diseases in the travelling child plays a key role both from an individual and a public health perspective: pre-travel immunisation protects travelling children and, at the same time, prevents the importation of pathogens that can spread throughout the community. Children immunisation presents unique challenges in travel medicine practice: some vaccines cannot be given below a definite age for several reasons and altering the standard schedule of routine vaccines is sometimes needed to ensure early protection. Furthermore, the risk for some travel-related diseases is higher among children. The aim of this review is to analyse the main epidemiological and clinical aspects relevant to immunisation of travelling children and to provide travel medicine practitioners with a practical approach to this issue.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
