Each year millions of Americans travel abroad for vacation, business, or to visit friends and family. Unfortunately, about half of these international travelers get sick or injured during their trip.
The good news is that most travel-related sickness and injury can be prevented. You are likely to be a traveler who has an enjoyable trip free from illness or injury when you follow these tips:
- Be informed: Learn about travel health risks and what to do to avoid them before your trip.
- Be ready: Get any vaccinations (shots) or medicines that you will need before your trip.
- Be smart while you travel: Make sure you follow travel safety tips while you are on your trip
A simple vaccination can help prevent a disease that could ruin a business trip or vacation, and also help reduce your concern about needing health care in a foreign country.
