    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Background: International travellers are exposed to various risks before, during or after travel and many travellers, apart from being at risk of infection from their new destinations also tend to transmit infection from one country to another. Travellers intending to visit a destination are expected to consult a travel medicine clinic or medical practitioner at least 4&amp;ndash;8 weeks before the journey for health risk assessment and to update pre-travel vaccinations. Studies have shown that travellers may not seek health advice before travelling and some of them have refused one or more recommended vaccinations for various reasons.&lt;br&gt;
Objective: This study assessed the awareness and practice of pre-travel health consultation and vaccination and associated factors among international travellers departing from Ethiopia through the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport.&lt;br&gt;
Methodology: A cross-sectional study design was used and the total sample size was 670. A stratified sampling technique was used to ensure representativeness of travellers and travel destinations. The study took four (4) weeks to complete. Pre-travel health consultation and vaccination practices were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire distributed at the departure lounges of the airport. Binary logistic regression test was used to identify significant factors (at p value &amp;lt;0.05) associated with pre-travel vaccination status and multivariable logistic regression was used in fitting the best model. The results were presented in tables (at 95% confidence interval level) and charts as appropriate&lt;/p&gt;</description>
