Whether traveling out of the country for business or pleasure, don't let illness interfere with your trip. Travelers should protect themselves against common diseases that may be mild but that will disrupt their trip, as well as how to safeguard against less common diseases that may be more serious or even fatal.
More business trips occur at short notice. Many travelers barely have time to pack suit cases, much less arrange a visit to their travel clinic. Many travels are unaware that certain immunizations require up to three injections over six months.
Some foreign countries require certain vaccinations before they will allow the traveler to enter the country. CDC updates information daily on specific recommendations for each country.
Before traveling one should:
- Visit Integritas Medical Institute prior to departure to receive appropriate vaccinations, prescriptions and other recommendations to make travel both safe and enjoyable.
- Learn how to prevent or treat illness abroad.
- Pack a medicine Kit
- Know your medical history and make a copy of it to take with you.
