You may consult a medical professional and tell him your travel plans. Another possibility is to ask your local travel agency if there are any known medical procedures you have to complete before going to your travel destination. A very useful resource is the internet. Therefore check the website of the US state department regarding travel information.

The best thing you can do is to first check with the Center for Disease Control (check their website)or your physician. Certain countries may have specific requirements before entering, while others may just recommend. Nonetheless, many shots require 4 weeks to become effective, so find out in advance.

Usually your doctors will be able to find out that information for you. If not, call your local travel agent.
