Things to ask yourself before traveling

  • Are you updated on all of your routine vaccines? (i.e measles, mumps, rubella, varicella "chicken pox", tetanus, polio etc).

  • Have you received all required or recommended vaccines for the region you are visiting? (i.e. for prevention of meningitis, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, rabies).

  • Are you in need of protection or prophylaxis for malaria?

  • If traveling to developing countries, have you obtained health information related to that country, such as current outbreaks, eating safe food and drinking safe water to protect against food and water borne diseases.

  • Are you prepared for emergencies or injuries?

  • Have you planned for the protection and treatment of insect and animal bites?
