Preparing for Your Visit

What to Pack to Make Your Trip Healthy and Safe

Before you travel, don’t forget to take care of your health. Have you scheduled an appointment with your health care provider? Do you have the necessary immunizations for your destination? Do you have health insurance coverage abroad? What about an extra pair of eyeglasses? See our checklist before you go.

 

Check the List

Keep Up with Routine Immunizations

Children get most of the vaccinations. But adults also need to be sure they are already immune to certain infections and stay up-to-date on certain vaccines, including varicella, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), shingles, and the flu. Childhood illnesses, such as mumps, measles, and chickenpox, can cause serious problems in adults.
