The Ultimate 2020 Travel Vaccines Checklist

Traveling to another country and exploring other cultures is an exciting experience but you need to be cautious as well. You should get travel health insurance and ensure that you have got all the vaccinations for travel recommended by your government. Going to another country without getting vaccinated, especially in a pandemic-hit world can be quite risky and you should avoid that at all costs.

Here is a list of travel vaccinations that you should get before you board your plane.

Which Vaccines Do You Need?

Make sure that you have consulted your doctor and checked the health ministry recommendations for the country you are planning to visit. The most common diseases that you can contract during travel are listed below.

-      Typhoid

-      Yellow Fever

-      Hepatitis A

-      Hepatitis B

-      Meningococcal Disease

-      Rabies

-      Malaria

-      Japanese Encephalitis

Where to Get My Travel Vaccines?

It is highly recommended that you get your travel vaccinations in your home country so you are not exposed to any diseases when you land. You can rely on any reliable health organization such as Travel Clinic Tooting or Travel Clinic Banstead. If your physician suggests you to get vaccinations other than the most common ones, you should get them as well.

Things You Should Consider

Here are some of the pointers you need to keep in mind:

-      The duration of your visit and the areas to which you'll be traveling (rural/urban)

-      The season you'll be visiting in as there might be seasonal diseases for which you need to get vaccinated

-      The situation of your accommodation, traveling within the visiting country, and local food

-      The activities you have planned and where they will take you to

How to Prevent Getting Sick?

If you really want to enjoy your visit, you need to ensure that you don't get sick. By following these simple tips your likelihood of catching any disease will be next to zero.

-      Always drink bottled water and avoid tap water as much as possible

-      Bring a medical and first aid kit with you for emergencies

-      Shower and keep your hands clean by washing them with soap

-      Only consume hygienic food and beverages

-      Make sure you are using bug and mosquito repellant at night
