Summer travel ahead? Before you go, here are a few things worth checking:     ✔️ Travel vaccinations  Depending on your destination, some vaccinations may be recommended or required. They can help protect you during your trip and after you return home. A great example is vaccination against hepatitis A.  ️ ✔️ Basic prevention  ▪️ Sun protection: shade, clothing and sunscreen  ▪️ Good hand hygiene  ▪️ Safe food and water habits  ▪️ Protection against insect bites  ▪️ Avoiding risky contact with animals ✔️ Pack a travel medical kit  Bring any regular medication you need, along with first-aid essentials such as painkillers, allergy medication, bandages and disinfectant. ✔️ Think beyond the trip  HPV vaccination can help protect against certain cancers and HPV-related diseases and is worth discussing with your doctor as part of long-term prevention.  ️ ✔️ Get the right advice  Health recommendations vary by destination. If you are unsure, consult your doctor, a vaccination center or a travel medicine clinic.
