Travel Smart. Stay Healthy.
Besides making sure you have the necessary vaccinations to prevent communicable diseases in foreign countries, it is important to ask yourself certain questions:
- Are there any specific conditions at your destination (altitude, climate, etc.) that may adversely affect your health?
- Do you require any destination-specific medications—over the counter or prescription?
- Will there be safe food and water at your destination?
- Are there any other destination-specific health risks that may affect your trip?
- Who can you call while abroad in the case of a health emergency?
- Are there adequate health services and hospitals at your destination?
- Will you be medically insured when you get there?
